Abstract:
International medical graduates (IMGs) are integral to the US healthcare system but are scarce in orthopaedic residency classes. Positive contributions of IMGs to the field of orthopaedic surgery in the United States are well documented, but successfully matching into an orthopaedic residency position as an IMG remains very challenging. The purpose of this study was to review current processes, strategies, and potential barriers of IMGs applying for orthopaedic surgery residency in the United States as an IMG.
