The Perry Initiative's Medical Student Outreach Program Recruits Women Into Orthopaedic Residency.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of our study suggest that The Perry Initiative's MSOP positively influences women to choose orthopaedic surgery as a profession. The match rate for program alumnae is twice the percentage of females in current orthopaedic residency classes. Given these positive results, MSOP can serve as a model, both in its curricular content and logistic framework, for other diversity initiatives in the field.
