Geographic landscape of foreign medical graduates in US neurosurgery training programs from 2007 to 2017.

Objective: Although foreign medical graduates (FMGs) have been essential to the US physician workforce, the increasing competitiveness has made it progressively challenging for FMGs to match in US neurosurgery programs. We describe geographic origins and characteristics associated with successful match into US neurosurgery training programs.

Methods: Retrospective review of AANS membership data (2007-2017).

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