Anyone hear of people doing an osteopathic internship and then doing an allopathic PGYI? I know this sounds insane, but it's crossed my mind.

DOtobe said:I've seen this a lot, having done all my med school rotations in PA (one of the "five states"). In some specialties the osteopathic internship does not count as the PGY-1 year (I have mostly seen this in surgery residencies) so the DO surgery residents I met were interns twice. At least internship would be easier the second time around!
