Are there differences in DO and MD salaries? Also, does the residency location affect salary? Not that salary should but, but just curious.

I am hoping it is an isolated case and I know the NW is not exactly DO friendly since we have 2 highly rated allopathic schools in the area.

(nicedream) said:It's totally legal. Look at the ads in the back of JAMA - numerous ones that say "MD required"
JPHazelton said:Many residency programs also have the same stipulation however they do accept osteopathic grads into their programs.
More often than not it is simply a matter of semantics.

OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE, YOU ARE ASKING THIS QUESTION!!!
You know why so Knock it off
medic170 said:Oh Bill, you know I meant no disrespect. It was my indirect way of, once again, voicing my support for a joint match!
OSUdoc08 said:You do realize that with a joint match, MD's will still not be able to match into AOA residencies, right?
medic170 said:Says who? since there is no joint match, and no complete plan has been agreed on, how do yo uknow how it would be structured. Perhaps all programs would have to be dually accredited, who knows?
OSUdoc08 said:A joint match would occur before dual accreditation happens. The student representatives to the AOA are from my school, and I have seen the plans for the dual match.
