Program Information
Staff/Faculty/Chairman: Good mix of MDs and DOs. Faerber is the chair. Good sports guy with a temper. Can be hard on you but honestly wants you to learn. Caputo is a MD hand guy, very good, down to earth, smart. Nelson is awesome, but only comes in for 1week a month. He wrote the tolerences handbook and can do pretty much anything. Yost is a trauma guy, cool as hell and good. Schlechther is a former resident and peds subspecialty trained orthopod.
Didactics/Teaching: Was initially resident driven, but with the introduction of Schlechther as Director of Education didactics have become a very solid aspect of this program.
Operating Experience: Its county. Expect to be operating with some autonomy as PGY2
Clinic Experience: wide range of pathology, but is very trauma heavy. Also see a ton of pus cases from the private practices that don't want to deal with them.
Research Opportunities: Too busy operating and working in clinic to get anything serious done, but there is some research done there.
Residents: Down to earth yet driven men and women.
Lifestyle: Resident of the hospital.
Location/Housing: In sunny southern california....but in the desert.
Limitations: Not too many scopes at county. Recently added a contract with Kaiser hospitals to do 6 months of sports. They will work you to the ground.
Overall Rotation Experience/Conclusion: Solid place that will enable you to be a competent surgeon.
Qualification
I rotated as a medical student at this program
Date of Rotation: 8/01/08
