Are there some hospitals or private practices that do not emply DOs at all? Is this discrimination? Do you know of any hospitals in NY that do not hire DOs?
stookie said:If a DO completed an allopathic residency would they be on par with an MD for hospital certification? Since doctors are contracted by hospitals, can a group practice not hire a DO because they are a DO?
mshheaddoc said:In areas where there maybe be minimal amounts of DO's (read: no osteopathic schools) I have heard of hospitals without DO's but I haven't come across a hospital by choice. I'm sure it could happen but with NY I wouldn't worry too much. I believe with NYCOM, UMDNJ, UNECOM, LECOM and PCOM all within 5 hours there wouldn't much discrimation with DO's (or at least I should clarify and say I hope). From what I've heard from practicing DO's there isn't any.
JKDMed said:Someone posted a job ad on here one time for a practice that specifically stated, "No DO and no IMG".
****, i had my response typed out and then I got logged out.Ifellinapothole said:I worked at both Columbia and COrnell and don't think I ever saw or heard of a D.O. there. Mount Sinai employs quite a few of them as does St. Vincent's. Let the people on this board tell you there is no difference (which may well be true in principle), but I do believe those two hospitals do NOT employ DO's. The Cornell part was additionally confirmed for me by an MD friend of mine who works there.

As an end to this post, I will leave you with the 2004 NYCOM match list (It looks pretty good to me).

LTrain1 said:legally, it really isn't discrimination if a hosptial doesn't want to hire a d.o. That's like saying it's discriminaion if an ibanking firm only hires ivy graduates. They choose who they want to hire and have their own criteria.
