Abstract

International medical graduates (IMGs) represent 16% of general surgery residents.1 Mistreatment is common in general surgical training, particularly for non-White or Hispanic residents, and is associated with burnout.2 We assessed whether mistreatment and wellness differ between IMGs and US medical graduates in a national sample of general surgery residents.
