Yale

mixed hands-on

25-26Rotator in 2025-26 described Yale as a 4-week single-service rotation (previously 2+2 with trauma). Residents described as diverse (over half women, many POC residents), 5 residents/year with possible expansion, and low hierarchy. Two nearby campuses (main + Saint Raphael's). Trauma is the busiest service. OR autonomy described as attending-dependent and graduated. PGY-3s cover overnight Q4-5 (no night float except interns). Sub-Is do a small number of 24s. Three 10-week PGY-3/4/5 elective blocks available for subspecialty scrubbing, international work, or research.

hands-on

23-24Details withheld for this cycle.
20-21Rotator in 2020/21 described supportive leadership, engaged faculty, early operative experience at the affiliated community hospital, and strong PA/APRN support. Rotator noted uneven subspecialty depth and a panel-style interview day described as unusual.
18-19Three rotators in 2018/19 described a strong trauma experience at a Level 1 center, diverse residents, and abundant research opportunities. Trauma hours were intense with very early pre-rounds. A chair search and program director transition were underway, and rotators described an end-of-rotation presentation.
17-18Rotator in 2017/18 described a collegial, resident-run program with a diverse and personable cohort, residents setting their own call schedule, and strong autonomy balanced by administrative responsibilities as a senior.
16-17Two rotators in 2016/17 described a large interview group (100 applicants for five spots) with a mix of established and early-career faculty, training split between the main hospital, an affiliated community site, and an outside anterior-hip mentor. A chair transition was anticipated.
15-16Two rotators in 2015/16 described strong operative training with few or no fellows, a cohesive resident group, and robust trauma volume. Research opportunities were described as uneven across subspecialties.
14-15Rotator in 2014/15 described strong resident compensation and perks, residents training across VA, university, and community settings, and a growing department. Research was present but not the focus; fellowship placement was solid.
