You are misinformed about UConn. They have all major specialties present, including ortho. They have an excellent ortho program in fact.
Anyway, I was a student at Uconn and finished 2 yrs ago.
The rotating internship for DO's seems to be primarily associated with the IM department at UConn and the residents have to option of staying in the program once finished with the rotating internship. Like all rotating internships, it encompasses all major fields: IM, peds, ob/gyn and surgery.
The residency splits its time between 3 major hospitals: Hertford hospital, St. Francis Hospital and UConn Medical Center (John Dempsey Hospital).
The residents at Uconn are well trained and are an extremely friendly and intelligent group.
The facilities are top notch at all three, but being located in and around Hartford in my opinion (having grown up in the area) is a negative. The suburbs are beautiful/wonderful, Hartford is a pit.
But overall, one can avoid the perils and pain of Hartford and live close to work in the suburbs, within easy reach of a multitude of outdoor activities: hiking, biking, etc....
