This is a long shot but anyone else apply to the fellowship still waiting to hear back? They said they’d announce awardees yesterday. Not sure if they just aren’t sending out rejections yet.

Outcome of the lawsuit could have major implications... or not. I know one of the points of the residency merger was to allow DO’s into ACGME fellowships. It’ll be interesting if the outcome of this case affects other ABMS...

3rd year DO student here, and am still on the fence about taking Step 1. Interested in FM residency. Does anyone know if it is required to report Step 1 scores on the NRMP residency application post merger completion? Previously there was still the AOA; therefore, ERAS application. Now it will...

Is wearing an AOA necktie or pin on your whitecoat socially acceptable?

can some kind soul share with me the original list of AOA programs last year that went unfilled? this will help me to plan in case i need to scramble. thank you!

Hi all, OMS1 here. I just wanted to get some clarification on ACGME vs AOA residency in regard to current trends and post-merger changes. 1) What are the specific differences between ACGME vs AOA residencies besides the fact that AOA residencies accept DO’s. How is training different, etc...

Do you guys know which schools have done away with AOA? I've heard of Harvard and Vandy, any other ones?

Hi I'm posting for my friend. She scrambled for an AOA residency position. A program she interviewed with sent her an email "Confirm address. Sending contract." Nothing more, nothing less. She replied to the email but there was no response. Is the offer posted somewhere that she must login to...

Hi My name is John. I am a 4th year medical Student at the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine pursuing a career in Family Medicine. I am contacting you to inquire about available OMGE year 1 positions. I am ready to begin training after graduation in May 2018 and have passed all...

There are some thread talking about the advantages of ABFM vs AOBFP or AOBFP vs ABFM. They seem rather comparable for your average family physician in terms of utility. My question is about how they compare with difficulty and cost to certify and maintain. The AOBFP is pretty straightforward in...

Which specialty boards should I take? Will there be some kind of accommodation before I have to make this decision? A little background: I graduated an osteopathic IM residency, and they were given initial ACGME accreditation the next day, or very close there abouts. As such, I happily took...

My husband is a 4th year medical student, graduating in May - finally ! :) AOA Match Day is in T-2 Weeks. I know they are crazy stressed, since its their career. But, are any other spouses out there just as stressed as I am? I am constantly reading about how matching works, scramble, post...

Hello I am DO student looking to see my chances at residency Level 1 Comlex 470 Level 2 PE failed 1st attempt but passed 2nd attempt Failed level 2 CE haven't had chance to retake. Rescheduled now in 6 days not much study time. Score will not be available till ~Feb 20th Can I still scramble...

So the AOA certificate is 11x13 which is a very awkward size to find a frame for...any ideas on ways to do it without having to get an expensive custom frame?

I'm a second year DO student, and I was wondering what the differences that you people value more when choosing whether to match AOA or ACGME? Assuming that location doesn't matter, and you can match into the specialty with both, why choose one over the other (i.e. If you could do EM, why...

I there any chart or website that shows Programs that will participate in the 2019 AOA match since its the last match before the merger ?

I may be a naive pre-med, but I have read a lot about how it is difficult to specialize if you go to a DO School because ACGME residences will automatically rank you below MD counterparts, even if you have higher board scores. BUT for DOs that would like to specialize, can't they just go to an...

Hello all. I am currently a 4th year in New York and I'm in the process of filling out residency applications. Up until a few weeks ago, I was not sure about which specialty to choose. I am still torn between a few, but because I've always been interested in physics, I found radiology may be a...

Hi I am 3rd year, and I got a 589 on my COMLEX and a 245 on my USMLE Step 1. I am applying to AOA Orthopedic programs, and was wondering if I need to take USMLE Step 2 CK? I only ask, because an AOA program told me I would be considered lazy if I took USMLE Step 1 and did not take USMLE Step 2...

Will AOA programs with current pre-ACGME-accreditation status be inspected and issued an initial accreditation status before the deadline to rank AOA programs via NMS? Thanks so much!

So with having to apply to derm as a PGY1, it seems like the options are very limited if you don't end up matching. Does anyone know, can you only scramble into other PGY2 positions that also require a TRI (rads, pm&r, etc)? Or could you scramble, for example, into a PGY2 family medicine position?
