Anyone have any information about the Cook County/Stroger Osteopathic Neurosurgery Program? Any information on the hospital?

Yeah, they're making it an ACGME program now "due to the merger between the ACGME and AOA." They say that they will accept both MDs and DOs, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't turn out that way.

So it won't be listed in the AOA match? Which year is it supposed to be switching?

Has this program closed?

I don't believe it. It may be open to DO's through the MD match but definitely not the AOA match. Also, none of my documents were downloaded by them from ERAS.

It seems to be closed for at least this application cycle, maybe it will open back up next year.
