Program Information
Staff/Faculty/Chairman: I had an incredible experience with the faculty here. Although Little Rock is not a huge metro area, it seems that the faculty here still bring big names and tons of experience. I personally worked with Dr. McCarthy, Blasier, and Hasan. They are all incredible teachers and allow great guided autonomy to the residents.
Didactics/Teaching: One half day/week is dedicated to didactics and fracture conferences. This is less than many programs but I felt that the majority of learning I attained here was in the OR by the great faculty and in the clinics.
Operating Experience: WOW!! only the third program that I have seen but these guys operate early and often with incredible guidance. When you are done here, you will be a GREAT surgeon.
Clinic Experience: Clinic was good. It is run by faculty with residents there as well. Faculty sees every patient and the residents do a quick presentation to the faculty.
Research Opportunities: I have not gotten to personally evaluate the research opportunities available here.
Residents: The Residents are fantastic. They operate like beasts and all are extremely cool people. I would hang out with the vast majority of them outside of the hospital.
Lifestyle: these guys work hard but play hard too. I really liked the teamwork these guys showed. Everyone helped everyone type of environment.
Location/Housing: I love the location. TONS of outdoors stuff to do. On the other side, little rock is not chicago, LA, or NY city so if you are searching for a huge city...may not be the place for you. CHEAP housing very near the hospitals.
Limitations: the only limitations that I could percieve are the paucity of research experiences available and/or location. But, I am not really looking for a very research heavy program and I love outdoor activities so this place will rank highly.
Overall Rotation Experience/Conclusion: Fantastic. The facilities are top notch, the residents operate like crazy, and the faculty are VERY helpful. What else are you looking for?
Qualification
I rotated as a medical student at this program
