Abstract
There is little doubt that women, African Americans, and Hispanics, have fewer opportunities to enter, or once in, to become contributing members of orthopaedic programs in the United States. The expressed reasons for this by faculty members sometimes sound reasonable, but on analysis all are spurious. It is the responsibility of the chief of service and the faculty members to change this pattern and offer all individuals equal opportunity and treat them identically to anyone in the program or on the faculty. Some guidelines are provided.Keywords
