000043619 520__ $$aAt 1.4°C hotter than the pre-industrial average, 2023 was the hottest year in human history. As climate change escalates from an inconvenient truth to a global health crisis, we must reduce our individual and institutional carbon emissions wherever possible. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) recommends that residency interviews be conducted virtually to decrease costs, enhance equity, and lessen environmental impact. This study aims to 1.) assess the current breakdown of in-person versus virtual residency interviews in orthopaedic surgery nationwide and 2.) estimate the carbon emissions avoided by conducting only virtual interviews for orthopaedic surgery residency positions at OHSU this year.
