Rotator reports9 reports · paraphrased

UVA

mixed hands-on

21-22Two rotators in 2021/22 described strong sports and hand services, daily morning didactics with resident and faculty lectures, and heavy reliance on a long offsite Roanoke block for trauma and operative volume. Rotators noted a formal academic environment with strong research emphasis and mixed impressions of resident cohesion and teaching engagement toward students.

Virginia

mixed hands-on

19-20Rotator in 2019/20 described two-week blocks across services, a rotator-heavy structure with shared call and occasional post-call days, and strong sports and hand services with lighter in-house trauma offset by an offsite Roanoke block. Rotator recommended the program.
18-19Rotator in 2018/19 described an academic feel with fellow-heavy services, attending-dependent OR autonomy, and a new ortho hospital under construction. Rotators were encouraged to meet with program leadership but no formal rotation interview.

U Virginia

hands-on

18-19Two rotators in 2018/19 described strong hand and sports training, arthroscopic proficiency, a research-active program with a resident research day, and engaged attendings. Rotators noted no automatic interview for away rotators and mixed impressions of resident engagement on interview day.
17-18Two rotators in 2017/18 described a well-balanced program with strong hand and sports, daily didactics, and extended Roanoke rotations used as operative-volume blocks. Rotators noted impressions of the program ranged from highly regarded to overly formal.
15-16Rotator in 2015/16 described a well-regarded growing academic program with strong didactics, high operative volume, strong hand and sports departments, and a night float system. Rotator noted the 20-week PGY3 and 20-week PGY4 blocks at Roanoke as a potential downside.
