Abstract
Hand surgery is a subspecialty that requires additional fellowship training after a primary residency; a long and competitive journey to achieve success. An underrepresented in medicine (UIM) student's journey to becoming a hand surgeon in the United States adds another level of challenge given several defined obstacles. Despite the lack of representation, the chances of becoming a hand surgeon are difficult but not impossible. A comprehensive strategy for an UIM student to become a hand surgeon is outlined in detail.
