Orthopedic surgery residents may transfer to different programs for various personal and professional reasons, including geographic preferences, faculty conflicts, or training gaps, as highlighted in a review published in the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. The review outlines the common motivations for transfers, methods to locate opportunities, regulatory requirements, and strategies for effective transition planning. Key factors influencing these transfers include potential burnout during early training and mismatched learning styles versus program cultures.
