Rotator reports6 reports · paraphrased

hands-on

23-24Details withheld for this cycle.
18-19Three rotators in 2018/19 described 2 weeks trauma plus 2 weeks subspecialty, high chief autonomy (PGY4-5 running trauma rooms), an intern wound care/plastics rotation with early OR involvement, and a well-regarded program director. Rotators noted weaknesses in spine, peds, and micro hand. No interviews during rotation, but roughly 90% of rotators were interviewed.
16-17Two rotators in 2016/17 described a blue-collar program with a high-volume county trauma center (~13 months of trauma across 5 years), strong VA bread-and-butter experience, a distinctive intern plastics/ortho rotation, and early operative autonomy. Research was noted as growing.
14-15Rotator in 2014/15 described an under-the-radar program with well-known faculty leaders and a down-to-earth resident group.

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