    Author: Luxenberg MN.
    Journal: Ophthalmology; 1983 Feb; 90(2):59A-63A. PubMed ID: 6856256.
    Abstract:
    A questionnaire entitled "Present and Future Training of Ophthalmologists in the USA" was sent to members of the Association of University Professors of Ophthalmology. Data obtained from the questionnaire indicate that: the complex regulations pertaining to training foreign medical graduates (FMGs) in the USA are often not fully understood by the chairmen, most programs are willing to accept but do not actively recruit FMGs, there are a number of obstacles encountered in selecting and training FMGs, and most resident and fellowship positions are filled by US graduates.
