Thanks for posting this!


I have questions about anesthesiology and radiologists:



Is the relatively low numbers of ppl matching into these 2 specialties because students CHOOSE NOT TO go into these specialties or is it because DO's are not meeting the standards and are at a little disadvantage compared with MDs.


I would guess that it is a combination of both. Can it really ever be known though? We would have to see every residency applied to by DO's and those they were rejected by along with board scores compared with DO's and MD's right?

1. Both of these specialties often require you to do PGY-1 elsewhere, and may or may not actually show up on the match list.
2. There is no way to know what people actually applied to.
3. Don't worry about this. You're asking the wrong questions, and there may not be right questions anyway.

"Don't worry about this and wrong questions" ???? This is a bit offensive! I would have to disagree strongly with you. Just because you may or may not be interested in these specialties I am sure there are others who are. I would like to know personally because if I attend a DO medical school I want to know that I have just as strong of a chance to go into specialties like anesthesiology and radiology as a MD. To say not to worry about it is not being smart about ones future. I do not know if that is your style but I like to be prepared and have knowledge about future possibilities before I encounter them. Thanks for your opinion but I am not taking it to heart.

I know there is no way to actually know where people applied to and that is why I asked whether or not it could be known otherwise?

 

[bleeker10]

Don't worry about match lists. If you go to a DO school and do well on the boards and in the clinical years then you can get Gas and Rads. If you really wanna look at match lists then go to the Osteopathic forum and peruse the 2009 Match List thread. You are only looking at 2 schools rather than all of them. Like TT said, you have no way of knowing how many people wanted Gas and Rads. Maybe only a few wanted it or maybe after Step 1 and 3rd year grades, people realized they aren't competitive for those specialties. You will get an education on par with MD schools. It's up to you to be competitive.

 

[TexasTriathlete]

No it can't. That's what I said. I am sorry if I offended you with my answer to your stupid question that has been asked a million times on here. What are you looking for?

A) no, DO grads cannot match into radiology/gas as easily as MD grads

Or

B) yes, DO grads have no problem matching into radiology/gas as easily as MD grads

Is that really what you're looking for? Neither of those answers would be particularly accurate or helpful.

And I can't believe you're trying to say that I'm not interested in these fields. Radiology is a strong #2 for me, so I find this a bit offensive!!!!!!!!

All you can do is your best. And let's be honest... if you were concerned that a DO school wouldn't be able to get you where you wanted to go, and you had the option of going to an MD school, you would probably not even be considering DO school. Let's face it, you're not going to do much OMM while you're reading imaging studies or making sure patients don't die on the table.

So again, a lot of rads/gas programs want you to do PGY-1 elsewhere, and they start you at PGY-2. These people may show up as transitional or internship on a match list. Particularly from a Pennsylvania school, where a DO's PGY-1 must meet internship requirements set by the AOA. Also, you have no idea what these people applied to. My school had I think only one person match either Peds or OB/GYN, if I remember correctly. Does that mean that DO's can't get into Peds or OB/GYN? Or that my school has a hard time placing students into these super-uncompetitive specialties? How come nobody ever asks about that? What kind of DO school can't even match students into primary care?

The fact that every DO school sends people into rads and gas every year should answer your question. The real question is: are you good enough to land one of these spots?

I'm not real sure where you come up with "low" numbers. In the PGY1 2009 MD match, of 22,427 total spots available, only 733 were for anesthesiology. 151 spots were available for rads. An additional 641 and 944 respectively were filled in the PGY2 match.

DO's have < 30 spots available for anesthesiology each year and I'm not even sure how many in radiology... but it's not a lot.

It's not that there are a small number of DOs matching into these types of spots, it's that there are not many of these spots to match into at all.

A lot of people go into med school thinking these would be cool specialties to go into. Many of them realize after their first Anatomy test that they are now in the bottom half of their class and have an uphill battle ahead. After the first step of the boards a lot of them realize they no longer have a chance. Then, a bunch of them realize that it really isn't what they eant to do after they actiually rotate through it.

A lot of people eventually realize that they just have no chance of hell in getting into a spot and "self-select" themselves out of it and into something else, some back-up plan. Others simply live the "pipe dream" until they don't match and end up in something they totally hate. BUT, t's not because you are an MD or a DO. 85% of the MDs in America don't have a chance in hell of getting into those specialties either. Whether you get a spot or not is SOLELY up to you, because the top people in your class will be getting spots there. The question is, will you be one of those top people?

Immature Response. I am not going there.

If you look at my first question I was asking a question if the low number of rads and anest was because people chose not to do it or because DO's were at a disadvantage...and then I said this probably could not be known

In the future please read my/others posts correctly and do not interpret to be in bad light...just a simple question.

Sorry if my question has been asked already a million times...I must not be good at searching SDN. I do not live on SDN. I was asking a simple question and you immediately take guard. Sorry for your little complex there...o wait I just did stoop to your level.....ooops!

Anyways I was looking for a response from someone that could give input into my question and not just repeat that from what I said that my question probably could not be answered due to lack of data. But thanks for echoing me. I look at the match stats and see that there are proportionately more MDs going into rads and anest than for most DO schools. They must not have taught you proper observation skills during your education.

So it would have been nice if someone could have stated that maybe more DO's choose primary care or something.....i donno! That is why I POSTED THE QUESTION!

BUT INTERPRET IT YOUR WAY. I KNOW IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER.

Burned TexasDecatholonMAN!

REggie makes a valid point I must agree...Don't be too quick to take offense. I know how it can be with the whole DO and MD thing

 

[TexasTriathlete]

No, pre-med. His question is not valid. I know you think it is, and it seems valid because you think the process is that simple, but it is not. He asked a question, and then provided two possible answer choices for it, and neither was correct.

His question also assumes that a lot of people want to go into these two specialties from every school, every year. Is this a valid assumption? Of course not.

My responses have plenty of good info. Feel free to read them and try not to get too upset.

 

[hwpo]

Pre-Med reporting here:

WOW!

Reggie was asking a question - no answers were given by him only guessing!!!

He assumes that everyone wants to go into rads and anesthesiology?? I must have missed this....ooo wait.....he said "you may or may not be interested"....again changing and putting words into his mouth!


You should have better reading and interpreting skills then that Texas2step for being a MED student!

Stop seeing things from your biased point of view. Work on this!

I have officially stopped reading your posts!!!!

[WDeagle]

I dont see why everyone is all over TT for. Dont ask for advice if you dont want to hear the answers. TT knows what he is talking about.

In my opinion i think the "low" amount of gas and rads is probably due to a lack of interest. Even though they are both considered lifestyle specialties i dont know of any school where a large portion of a class desires rads and gas. Honestly i dont think that these two match lists actually have a "low" amount of Gas and Rads matches. As of 2004 Anesthesiologists made up 4.4% of the total physician population while Radiologists made up less than 1%. These numbers have probably gone down as PCP residencies and overall medical school enrollment increases. Thus, it would seem that the two match lists above are at or above the average for Gas and Rads matches.

I ask for advice to hopefully get an answer but I got "don't worry about it, you are asking the wrong questions".

The response you (Wdeagle) gave is an answer I appreciate; an opinion I appreciate and looking for!


The matching into rads and anesth are low across the board relative to single medical schools (I know there are more MD medical schools than DOs). If you want me to get in depth I can post residency match lists of MD schools vs DO schools to prove that there is not proportionate matching into these 2 specialties. I have done the research.

I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER WHY!! That is why I proposed possible answers that maybe DO's aren't as interested in them, etc!

A couple things,

1) TT has been contibuting to these forums for quite some time and if you even bothered to read his reflections thread in this forum you may see he gives some very valuable input.

2) If you don't like the advice those further on the path give you, take a step back and see if it is echoed by others who are also further along (as scpod did). If you then choose to disregard the advice and insist that they don't know what their talking about and then take personal shots at them go ahead. But as you may have already noticed the other member doing so in this thread has already been banned.

I for one appreciate the current students come to comment and share insight even though some of it is "tough love".

Oh also this could just be my point of view, but your post came off as slightly conceited. You may want to work on that.

I just talked to the head of anesthesia at USC Hospital today. I asked him why are there so few residents match into anesthesiology compared to, say, general or orthopedic surgery. He said not only that anesthesiology residency are more competitive but also there's simply not very many residents chose to enter this field. However, I don't think DO's will have any disadvantage entering this residency program because he told me that they have several residents from Western University.

Though, I wonder what's the major difference between a DO anesthesiology residency and an MD one?
