I am interested in cardiothoracic / pediatric surgeons, which would start with general surgery residencies.
I saw many threads saying DO have to work "harder" to be in ortho or dermatology. But I haven't seen comments about my fields of interest.
I know nothing is impossible, but how hard is it...
1st year DO student.
I was well aware that DO students are at a disadvantage but I did not realize how profound the stigma against DO was in competitive IM residencies and fellowship.
