No rads?

For the Touro Match List (its the combined Middletown and Harlem list) -> There actually were radiology matches, somehow left of the list. I know personally of 2 who matched at St Lukes/Roosevelt for rads. There was also an IR match at Ohio State. Some great matches didn't get listed somehow, but they are sending an updated list soon, with the corrections. Also a lot of the matches have multiple people going to the program, but did not get listed more than once on the list.

I am guessing the medprelim/rad matches are radiology matches. Looks like solid rad matches.

Yeah thats correct, also the TRIs are mostly for anesthesia, rads, PMR matches and not just random TRIs for people who didn't match

Back to the topics: My school, CCOM, matched to pretty strong IM programs including University of Washington, University of Colorado, George Washington, Ohio State, Cincinnati, Rush and Loyola.
Oh, we matched into peds at Duke, MCW and Iowa

Is the full CCOM match list posted?

The Montefiore IM match is impressive to me, and especially the UTSW IM. MD ENT is always a fantastic match.

Yep UTSW might be the best DO IM match I’ve ever seen.

I imagine Dallas must be getting too expensive, or something else to explain why surely USMD’s no longer want this program...😉

It’s the Fresno campus, not the real USCF, not quite a golden ticket into ReproEndo. Still…congrats to that person, hopefully it was at or near the top of their list.

That’s not UCSF. A lot of programs have big names attached to them that don’t necessarily reflect one way or another.
Click to expand...

Either way, this person still have my blessing. I'd take a portal site with a big name attached to it anyday!
 
That Touro match list above also includes Harlem's class. It's very impressive! And that Peds match to Montefiore is 👍 thumbs up awesome, congrats!
 
Georgetown IM, GWU for primary care, and of course Cornell psych are pretty impressive. Overall I think that whole list is really good

CCOM doesn’t publicly post their match lists, we just get it emailed to us once its all compiled. I really don’t feel like typing it all out....

So glad you did this, and not me. That excel sheet is a mess to play around with.
 
1 surgery at CCOM. And it’s AOA. I’m sure that won’t be pointed out lol.
 
So one thing that I’ve gathered from these lists is that even though there are some good IM matches, the majority or close to are community IM programs.

This may be naive, but it seems from my research that University IM at X-state school isn’t usually “that” hard. So are people mostly choosing community programs? Or is it simply just way harder for DOs to go to University IM?

PS: absolutely not knocking people who went the community route, I’m interested in a IM subspecialty though so it’s relatively important for me to do the “U of” track

You'll be surprised at how many DO students applying IM with just a comlex score of 500/600 and hope for the best

Don't want to sound like an a$$ but considering that CCOM has the strongest rotations of any DO school with campus resources comparable to an average MD school (with actual NIH funded research), this list was sad. Only 1 GS out of a class of 200 students? The ortho program at St. James also heavily and openly favors CCOM students. No derm. No urology. Considering their $100k/year pricetag, I was expecting more.

A weaker class? if the candidates were all borderline and they have plenty of competitive applicants I don't think there is enough affiliation to justify it. Just a guess

I think you misinterpreted my post. I would never do surgery. I 100% empathize with people who would never do surgery. I also have been through close to a decade’s worth of match list threads and have seen time and time again DO schools get **** for not having surgery matches. Keep your pants on funny guy.

Yeah bc people on the DO forums continue to read into match lists to a fault when the match is a very individualized, student-specific process. I’ll never understand the judgmental attitudes on here, especially coming from M1s and M2s.

I need you to sit down before you read this because this will come as a devastating shock to you, and totally upend your belief systems, but not everybody wants to go into Gen Surg or other uber-specialties.

Unless it becomes a trend, I wouldn't worry too much about this.
--The interests of classes vary year to year (case in point: my class has more than double of the pediatricians of the two classes before us)
--Interest in gen surg has gone downhill in the last couple of years, and like @Goro said, surgery's not for everybody
--No derm and no urology aren't that surprising: both are really hard to get, and not that many people are in love with urology in the first place
--It's a strong match list otherwise with solid matches in a lot of specialties. The lack of gen surg is an interesting anomaly, but not a reason to panic.
 
Gen Surg is still relatively DO unfriendly. Here's some info from the 4th years at my school who matched into it. You could def argue that if they went to any other MD school in Texas, they'd have interviewed and matched at schools higher up on their match list.

Student 1:
USMLE I - 246
USMLE II - 240
COMLEX I - 695
COMLEX II - 688
COMLEX PE - Pass
Quartile: 1st
Publications: 1
Sub-Is (away rotations): 3 (UTRGV, UAMS, & UTHSCSA)
Programs applied to: 94 (ACGME match only)
Interviews offered: 24
Interviews attended: 15
Matched: Sunrise Health GME Consortium, categorical, #9 on rank list

Student 2:
USMLE I - 242
USMLE II - 248
COMLEX I - 641
COMLEX II - 615
COMLEX PE - Pass
Quartile: 2nd
Publications: 1
Sub-Is (away rotations): 2 (Baylor Dallas & UTHSCSA)
Programs applied to: 135 (ACGME match only)
Interviews offered: 20
Interviews attended: 15
Matched: Texas Tech Lubbock, categorical, #4 on rank list

Student 3:
USMLE I- 253
USMLE II- 260
COMLEX I- 670
COMLEX II- 700
COMLEX PE- Pass
Quartile: ranked in top 10
Publication: 7 at the time (4 first authors) and 3 more during interview season—these were all abstracts not real full papers
Sub I (away rotation): None; only did one with Cook’s Children.
Programs applied to: 75 (only applied to major academic centers in Midwest/SE)
Interviews offered: 7
Interview attended: 7
Matched: University of Texas HSC San Antonio/Research tract program, #1 on rank list
 
This is also directly from the 3 DO students who matched from my school:

1. Do I need to take USMLEs?
Yes, as of now it is the recommendation to take both USMLE 1 and 2. There still exists the DO stigma in the surgery field, although decreasing every year. You want to be on an even playing field as your MD colleagues. As of now, there are about 10-11 surgery programs with dual accreditation. The remaining 200+ are still ACGME only. This gives you an idea of why you should take USMLEs. In regards to scores, I have come to realize that some programs may have a step score cut off (240s) when it comes to choosing DO applicants, at least based on the stats provided above. Keep that in mind. One of us know of a few MD applicants with lower boards than us DO’s that matched at their Top 3 programs. Clearly they were ranked higher than us despite “more competitive applications.”

To add on, from talking to my classmates at CCOM I have found that greater than 1/3 of my class already know they want to go into FM, OB/GYN, & psyc. This includes some extremely intelligent people at the top of the class. A good number also want to do EM as well. That's about 100 people that have little intention of going into a more competitive specialty or surgery. We have some pretty good surgery rotations, so I don't know if it scares people away from the lifestyle, but self-selection plays a large part. The last few years CCOM has had 5-6 students go into General Surgery, so this year was an off year.

The applicants (~7) I’ve talked to that have matched all shared the same sentiments. They felt like once you break 230 you will probably find a spot somewhere but you need to apply super broad because of the factors mentioned above. 240 is better. Make sure you have plenty of interviews and programs on your rank list.
 
Why someone would choose a field where you literally have to bust your ass, like ruin your life ass bustin’, in med school, only to commit to 5 years of 90+ hour weeks, aggressive attendings, high attrition, and poop...all that poop, is beyond me.

But like every other field I can’t find any interest in, I’m super glad there are folks who love it. And man, surgeons sure do love it.

Any word/ideas on why the applicant with higher scores and such received a smaller yield of interviews? Apply more top heavy?

Wait did we have this exact same conversation last year? Cause I am having some serious Deja Vu. I mean I even am okay with your statement cause its hard for me to believe that only 1 person wanted surgery out of 200, but still, I feel like this thought was an exact repeat from last year (although the thread is gone).

Are we getting an instagram of a hottie who matched plastics with no research and like a 250+ USMLE if this post gets 30 likes? Only one way to find out, and I can't like myself.

It looks like he only applied to university programs that had a heavier research focus.
 
Student 3 is matched to a much better programs despite the lower interview numbers. The match worked out in his favor.
