Abstract
Medical students without a home orthopaedic surgery program face unique challenges due to the absence of institutional connections and mentorship opportunities. This review explores the hurdles faced by these students, including financial constraints, emotional strains, mentorship gaps, and networking hurdles. Drawing from empirical evidence and scholarly research, tailored advocacy strategies to empower these medical students pursuing orthopaedic surgery residency are proposed, including mentorship programs, financial assistance, psychosocial support, and community-building initiatives.
