The Path to US Neurosurgical Residency for Foreign Medical Graduates: Trends from a Decade 2007-2017

摘要

OBJECTIVE: The increasing competitiveness of the neurosurgical residency match has made it progressively difficult for foreign medical graduates (FMGs) to match in neurosurgery. We compared FMG to U.S. medical graduate (USMG) match rates in neurosurgery and identified factors associated with match outcomes for FMGs in neurosurgery.
