Yes.

excellent news, thank you, but can you please tell me what evidence you have for this because I have not gotten convincing answers on either side.

Here is the website of one such program. Specifies AOA residency or AOA approved. The ambiguity will lie in whether you need to have your whole residency approved or just your PGY 1. But this would make me lean toward saying "yes" with the caveat that you will need AOA approval for at least some part of your ACGME residency.

Thanks. So it seems risky to enter an ACGME residency unless the AOA has approved it ahead of time.

The guy who moved into my place in Kirksville was coming back for fellowship after finishing an allopathic FM residency elsewhere. That's my evidence. For Kirksville, at least.
