wow... Rad Onc.
i am not sure how valid the rad onc match is. look at UPMC's current residents.
are there pre-lim positions in rad onc?

If you go to this page --> http://www.upci.upmc.edu/radOncResidency/residents.cfm then it's true. It looks like he will be coming in July 15 after his prelim IM year somewhere else.
i see an incoming DO student, but that student is from LECOM. the match list posted above is from nova.
PCOM- PA and GA
This comes directly from higher ups in Med Ed in the Bronx. Back in the late '90's and early Naughts, Monte and St. Barnabas ( which at that time was affiliated with Weill and NYCOM) were in direct competition. During that period Monte was very DO friendly, especially in peds and FM ( IM was warming up). However, after the restructuring of Medicaid managed care, Barnabas broke its affiliation with Weill and affiliated with AECOM (AECOM meds students now rotate on the medicine and geriatric services at Barnabas). Part of the negotiation was that MMC -Moses would not poach any potential residents from Barnabas. Thus, MMCs current refusal to take DOs in IM and FM. MMC will readily take DOs in prelim Surgery, OBG and PMR ( Barnabas does not have residency programs in OBG and PMR) MMC -Moses will NOT take DOs in FM, IM and categorical Surg ( residencies that Barnabas has). MMC -Moses will take DO ped residents since Barnabas' program is ( and always was) ACGME and was affiliated with Weill.JUST FYI for future applicants
Albert einstein college of medicine/Yeshiva University is MD institution that are still very anti D.Os especially Einstein/Montefiore. Only departments that DOs can land in their residency is Surgical Prelim, PM&R. I know several DOs in ER in Montefiore program. Peds has only one DO. OBGYN has accepted D.Os as well. Do not waist your time applying IM program at Montefiore, they do not accept DOs PERIOD. Even psychiatry is anti DO.and I am not sure but when my friend did interview at family medicine, she was told that they have not accepted DOs. Anesthesia used to accept DOs but not anymore with new program director. Albert Einstein college of medicine has residency programs(which include montefiore, montefiore Lakefield, Jacobi, Beth Israel; this one might be under Mount sinai since mt sinai bought many hospitals including beth israel) that is second largest residency in the country(the website says 1200 residents and fellows). It is sad but that is just the way it is
Incredibly admirable. Only 30% of programs even allow DOs to interview.The ACGME Urology and Neurosurgery matches for the PA and the GA schools, respectively, are sweeeeet!
Yeah, it' s 5 posts up ^Anyone anyone have rowan som 2014 match list?
I've heard a lot of people are upset about Dcom's match list...it seems pretty good to me...maybe someone from there can elaborate?
This was the make up of this particular class. Didn't have many folks interested in surgery. Big IM focus, as you see above. Had a ton interested in EM, most of which matched. Two ortho (didn't have many interested in this field), optho, one urological surgery, ENT, 7 ACGME EM + 10 AOA programs, Shands IM, great PM&R matches, an MCG ACGME Gen Surg match, 5 strong pathology matches, just to name a few. And the great majority of the class matched into programs where they wanted to go. Remember, this is DCOM's fourth graduating class. If you take that into account and look at this match list, there's definitely nothing to be upset about.

I know of a folks failing to match into PMR as well as EM for example. Also I know of folks failing to match into gen surg too. A lot of this was from folks either under applying or those that had unrealistic expectations in my opinion.
Not to mention it's unknown what some of those Traditional Rotating Internships are doing. Some of those could be surgical subspecialties.
There were people who failed to match in just about every single specialty on that list, which happens at every school. But, what I want people to know is that this list matches the interests of this class. There is nothing anyone should be mad or disappointed about.

That scares me since I'm pretty interested in EM. it was ACGME that they failed to match into?
Agreed. I just hope people get more realistic when attempting to match. I think that would have cut down on some of the failed matches.
True up to a certain point. If someone told me to be "realistic" about the match, I wouldn't have matched where I did. Sometimes you have to go with your gut.

Those that failed to match that I know of personally are ACGME but I would bet a few are AOA. Since I matched osteopathically I can't give a whole lot of advice besides taking the USMLE is important now.
If you don't it's still possible to match at an ACGME program with a comlex score but harder(I got 11 total invites from the acgme side with comlex only and assume I would have matched because two of the places didn't fill with one of those places I received a vibe I was on the rank list.)

Thank you! Yeah that's what I've been told about the USMLE from multiple people regardless of most specialties. Good luck and thanks for the advice!
It is important to do WELL on USMLE. It isn't enough just to take it and pass it. If you aren't confident that you will do well on USMLE do not take it. It will hurt your app when applying to ACGME programs. You'd be surprised at how many ACGME programs in many specialties will accept only the COMLEX if you did well on it.
Incredibly admirable. Only 30% of programs even allow DOs to interview.
I spoke to several med students and they feel the merger will open up more competitive residencies for DOs.Will these sorts of unspoken rules change after the merger?

Lol, Doc E, they were DO students .

Yeah
Yeah I definitely agree with this advice. I didn't think I'd do well on USMLE, so I didn't take it. I'm pretty thankful for that now because if I would've done poorly, I think I would've shot myself in the foot. I'm applying ob/gyn and there are plenty of programs that accept the COMLEX. And most of the programs that don't accept the COMLEX are the pretty competitive programs that I likely wouldn't have a shot at anyway.
You just made SDN sound like the KKK...Muscledoc = Grand Master Wizard
His advice is golden!
