With the increasing interest and pursuit of away rotations by orthopaedic surgery applicants, program directors (PDs) must use information from the 4-week performance to determine who is good fit for their program. For students, despite the increasing cost and time, they are faced with a variable experience from program to program. The purpose of this study was to survey PDs from Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education-accredited orthopaedic residency programs to better understand how programs approach the away rotation process.
