I am currently a 5th year resident and will be graduating next month. Overall I am extremely satisfied with my training and would recommend this residency highly to all medical students who are independent, self-motivated leaders....it is not a program designed to spoon feed you. I wanted to update everyone on an important change to our trauma experience. We have taken over all trauma call responsibilities at Tampa General Hospital and have also started a new PGY 3 trauma rotation. Prior to this change, our trauma experience was qualitatively good but lacked quantity . With this change we have improved the quantity substantially and I would say our trauma experience is now exceptional.

Program Review
| Staff/Faculty/Chairman | Fantastic program director - Dr. Doug Letson. He's a true resident advocate and will soon make this program a top-tier place to train. |
| Operating Experience | Above average. Not a crazy, nail a hundred femurs a day sort of experience, but I got the feeling that you would be very well-trained in bread and butter procedures and more complex procedures with the resources available at FOI. |
| Residents | Great group of guys. |
| Lifestyle | Unbelievable. Second to none. |
| Location/Housing | Tampa is fantastic. |
| Limitations | The only problem I personally saw with the program (and what kept it from being in my top 3 programs) is the lack of in-depth experience on trauma at Tampa General Hospital. This is a top trauma fellowship, but the USF residents are kind of lost in the crowd as residents from several other programs are rotating at TGH also. I think if USF were to expand their experience at TGH and take more call, it would GREATLY improve the residency, in my opinion. |
| Overall Rotation Experience/Conclusion | A great, under-rated place that will be top tier with the proper leadership and some adjustments. |
