Any ER residents do a trauma rotation at Arizona UMC Trauma Center? I am thinking about doing a trauma elective there and would like to know how it is? did you get a lot of procedures...chest tubes, thoracotomies, run traumas. did you get stuck with a lot of scut or going to trauma clinic? how bad are the hours? any info would be great. thanks

I am a resident there now but I have no idea about a trauma rotation (other than the one we do). Would you be doing this as a student or resident?

I havent rotated thru trauma yet.. but while there are a lot of procedures they are split amongst a number of interns.. so not tons.. but enough..
