First DO radonc program?

[Toohotinvegas33]

Looks like its in the making.

JFK Medical Center is a 424-bed acute care hospital located in the suburban town of Atlantis. Palms West
is a 175-bed acute care hospital serving a younger population in rural Palm Beach County. Using the resources of our
entire clinical campus, Palms West Hospital has recently been approved for an osteopathic residency training program
in Pediatrics, and is in the process of making application for new osteopathic teaching programs in Family Practice and
Radiation Oncology. Our dermatology residents would have access to inpatient consultations, as well as educational
resources in each of these inpatient facilities.

Nice, good to see more programs being opened up in a variety of fields and in good locations.

Now all they need is a good web designer to redesign that atrocity

Same thing goes for aacomas. Contacted the webmaster about it a while ago, but no update in aesthetics yet. The website looks like it's from the mid 1990's.

Do you guys think that this type of thing is likely to continue in the future? I.e. do you see more DO specialty residencies (like rads/radonc/optho) opening up, or were these just isolated cases?

I would like to hope more of this is going to continue. I know COMP has been looking for residency directors to run their new rads, ortho, etc.. programs.

However, it will be interesting to see how things progress here. Most of the hospitals around here had already been 'claimed' by ACGME programs years ago. The ones that hadn't been 'claimed' were basically locked out due to the balanced budget act of 1997 (CMS budget for medical education locked at those levels). So the logistics are kinda tricky it seems but we are slowly seeing more OGME programs open up in more geographical areas, in more varied and desired specialties.

For me, however, it's too little too late. I'll likely be shootin for ACGME programs in my area for a number of reasons, mainly location. Hopefully not too far into the future, that won't be the case for other students like myself.
