Program Review
| Staff/Faculty/Chairman |
Home base: All busy orthopods who are willing to share their private patients. We are the machine behind a very high volume practice, each attending running two rooms at a time usually, utilizing us residents maximally. Our chairman goes out of his way to support us and protect us, making sure we are able to go to courses and setting aside time for didactics Outrotations: Awesome. Fun places, famous teaching institutions and support...kinda nice when it comes time to apply for fellowships...Florida Orthopaedic Institute, Children's Hospital New Orleans... |
| Didactics/Teaching | Resident run. Protected time; attendings alter their private surgical scheduling based on our education schedule. Weekly: Miller review, rotating powerpoint lectures, OITE question review, Xray conference. Monthly journal club at nice restaurants with great speakers |
| Operating Experience | Hard to compare. Seniors traditionally log 800 to 1000 cases, just during their PGY 5 year. I'm not halfway through PGY 4 and I've logged ~800 total so far over the course of the residency...you do plenty of watching early on but quickly are doing your own scopes, your own fracture work, and eventually your own joints. All the attendings have different ideas of autonomy for the residents...some leave the room; some simply back up just enough to allow us the room to operate |
| Clinic Experience | Varied experience; subspecialty out-rotations provide us the traditional experience. |
| Research Opportunities | A paper a year is required. We have access to an amazing motion lab and all their other facilities. More time to actually get research and readings done, when compared to others. |
| Residents | Our lifestyle in the OR requires us to interact and watch each others back more than anywhere else I've ever been. We help each other, we set up each others rooms, we teach each other our tricks, we share our struggles. We have great hugs. |
| Lifestyle |
Awesome. We work hard and bust our humps, they enjoy the fruits of our labor (get finished with cases EARLY) Have to be willing to fight to make it that way, and skip a few meals to ensure we stay on schedule. |
| Location/Housing | Interesting location. On border between WASPy middle class and POOR black community with ~50% high school graduation rate. Its Detroit; get used to the diversity. Huge multicultural area... Plenty of great / young / vibrant places to live within 20 minute drive. Housing is VERY affordable |
| Limitations | Resident driven, not a traditional service-based experienced |
| Overall Rotation Experience/Conclusion | Wouldn't trade it. Part of me wants the glory of the "big name" residency...but then I realize that in the end it's not about the name; it's about the experience. |
Qualification
| I am a current resident of this program. | |
| Date of Rotation | 2005-2010 |
