Article Synopsis
- Visiting electives in radiation oncology (RO) can impact medical students' residency match outcomes, but high costs deter some, particularly underrepresented students, from participating.
- A review identified 92 RO electives, with 40 offering scholarships for underrepresented in medicine (URiM) students; the median stipend was $2000, but financial support is not evenly distributed across the U.S.
- The geographical disparities in scholarship availability suggest a need for interventions to improve access to these valuable training opportunities for all medical students.
