Abstrakt: "International Medical Graduates" (IMGs) make up a large percentage of "underrepresented in medicine" physicians and comprise 25% of the US physician workforce. The American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, in its "Statement on Diversity," has expressed its enduring commitment to inclusion and diversity in all its forms. However, unlike various other specialties, a discussion about integration of IMGs in Otolaryngology has not been raised in our community. This commentary reviews the data on the recruitment of IMGs in Otolaryngology residency programs and highlights the need for a strategic effort to increase their participation in the US residency programs. Strong benefits may be derived from this effort such as promoting inclusivity and diversity of the workforce and increasing the support of the nation's underserved communities.
