I personally haven't rotated through the program, but I have heard from people that did. Most said that the program has solid rotations (northwestern for hand, shriner's for peds) but the base hospital is pretty sketchy. Meaning a below average amount of OR time and the attendings don't care if you are there. OF COURSE, I haven't been there so I could be wrong! I would love if someone has any more info.
In addition, I found this on the aoao website:

Don't know how that will effect the program.
