Rotator reports4 reports · paraphrased
hands-on
  • 19-20Two rotators in 2019/20 described a workhorse program with exceptional trauma volume, 4 trauma rooms running daily, and strong preparation for call. LBJ rotation offered significant PGY3 autonomy on bread-and-butter cases. Rotators noted double and triple scrubbing on trauma due to fellows, heavy faculty pimping, and 100-hour weeks. All rotators reportedly invited back for interviews.
  • 18-19Rotator in 2018/19 described an extremely high-volume trauma center with q3 call and limited post-call time in early years. Rotators reported significant fellow involvement on trauma cases, with most trauma attendings described as respectful and engaged teachers.
  • 14-15Rotator in 2014/15 described a very busy program with spots added to distribute workload, noting tough hours during the rotation.

Paraphrased from rotator survey responses. Names and identifying details removed.
