2008 Osteopathic Match!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
when will the system update for us to see results?
 
12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time...Is your school setting up anything for you all?
 
I got my result email at 8:01 this morning.
 
WooooooHooooo! Matched my #1...Got my email result early too!

Good luck to everyone!
 
Hey! I had a question...in the results it has a huge column of Non-Participants. I was curious as to what that was...to me it looks like the number of students that did not participate at ALL in the match for Osteopathic positions? Am I way off on that analysis? Thanks!!
 
Is there anywhere that nonparticipants can view the match results as far as unfilled programs? Not applying to any just curious to see how certain programs did.

Any website?
 
Got my #1 choice as well. Ob/gyn with Midwestern's program! Box are you coming to St. james in chicago???? its been years since we chatted it up!

Everyone should be so excited and proud...let us know where you ended up
 
Woo Hoo!!! #1 choice for Family Medicine!! (at a confidential location...to protect the innocent).
 
Congrats to all who matched today!!!!

Just curious, anyone match into EM? 🙂

Also, it is interesting to see that almost 1000 spots were unfilled via the osteopathic match. I don't think that this will continue to happen (they will probably end up closing programs). I think the AOA should incentivize going into an osteopathic residency with higher resident salaries! 😉

Congrats! Tell me about it... a LONG 4 years since we've chatted! I'm so glad to be moving back to good ole Chi-town although, I've been spoiled here in Las Vegas with sun everyday and warm weather...I'm going to have to get used to those BONE-CHILLING winters again...darn🙄...

I'm so stoked...how is the intern year at Oly...the PD said they're on a night float...
 
Congratulations to everyone!!! You guys deserve it. 👍

Just wanted to drop in and tell everyone CONGRATULATIONS!!! I see the OB/GYN spots were pretty much covered. God I pray I get one next year...DO or MD. *Patiently waiting for 2009 to hurry up and get here*

I'M SO PROUD OF YA'LL!!!!!!!
 
Ohio here. Entered my match on the thread in the EM forum.
 
Question,
looking at the match list posted above, I was wondering about the residencies that have a schools name by it. For example in my home state of Georgia, this is one of the listed spots:
NSUCOM/MED COLLEGE OF GEORGIA
AUGUSTA\
Does, that mean that only Nova students can fill the spots? I'm going to be attending GA-PCOM in the Fall and was just curious about opportunities to stay in state. Thanks!

That just means that the residency is affiliated/sponsored by NSUCOM. In no way does it mean only students from there can do residency at that institution.

Thats what I wanted to know. Thanks for the clarification!
 
Congrats to everyone!

All your hard work has finally paid off.
 
Look like everything filled but Fm and Some Im

It's really not quite that cut and dried. There are some good "specialty" positions left for the scramble:

I saw a couple specialties remained empty, but those will certainly fill after the scamblers from the MD match, but the far majority of spots open were FM, then the IM programs that dont have fellowships attached to them.

Wait I'm confused. I thought those numbers are for osteopathic residencies only or am I just really confused? 😕

In sheer numbers, maybe, but look at the percentages:


Percent unfilled:
Anesthesiology 16% (4 of 25)
EM 7% (13 of 136)
FP 56% (310 of 554)
FP/EM 22% (2 of 9)
Surgery 12% (12 of 99)
IM 45% (152 of 327)
IM/EM 50% (10 of 20)
Neurosurgery 11% (2 of 18)
OB/GYN 28% ((23 of 82)
Ortho 1% (1 of 73)
Peds 25% (14 of 57)

So, percentage-wise, IM and FP aren't doing all that bad 🙂.

Where the hell did you learn to do math? 310/554 is not 6%
 
FM went 56% unfilled or only 44% filled
IM went 44% unfilled or 66% filled.

As for some of the other numbers, I believe that some are either unfunded or hold out some spots for the ones that dont match allopathic.
 
Wow, I am surprised that programs like gas and rads still had spots remaining. I thought they would be the first to go. Where is derm though??

As far as I understand it, which isn't very far 😳, derm programs do not participate in the match. So I believe those matching who want derm would be doing a traditional rotating year.
 
Ahhh, those special derm folks! I am also surprised that so many of us DO students totally skip DO residencies. At this point (MS3-I should know better!), I dont totally know what the benefits of either are. Hopefully I will have figured it out by summer !!
 
:clap::banana: Congratulations to all those who matched.🙂
 
Did anyone here match oto-facial plastic?? (Just curious)

Wow, almost 78% of my class (TCOM 2008) didn't even participate in the AOA match! 😱 I knew there was a general trend toward ACGME programs within my class this year, but I didn't think it would be THAT high!
 
Does anyone know if the Match site is updated over time? It will be interesting to see if the number of unfilled spots decreases after the allo match.
 
I didn't realize there were so few spots available in the DO match. For example only 25 spots for Anesthesia total? Imagine how few spots there are available in the area you hope to live.

Yeah....geography is one of the big reasons that DO grads are looking to ACGME residencies-- especially for those "more competitive" residency spots. You can just about find an FP residency anywhere now. There were 554 FP spots open this year, compared to only 368 in 2007-- a 50% increase.
