I rotated here. It's going to be a really good program. It's at a level one trauma center, and there are two groups running the program. The general surgery group and the trauma group. The program director and assistant program director are both on the trauma group. There are two hospitals affiliated with the program and they do a lot of surgery at both. A lot of the attendings are old-school in the way they teach, a lot of on the spot pimping. Most of the faculty are very approachable, there are always a few that people want to avoid but thats nothing new. The program director is fantastic and she and most of the other faculty expect a lot out of their residents and students. It is very early on, but this program has what it takes to be one of the top programs out west. The residents coming out of this program will definitely be solid surgeons.
