Completely agree here...if the AOA wants to increase public exposure to DO's they should start by placing DO's in places that do not have significant DO exposure by placing residencies in that area. Even though I live in chicago I might still have to go for an acgme residency because there just arent that many programs.

The AOA doesn't place DOs or residency programs in specific locations. It will be up to us to start them up some day 🙄 . Although this is not an immediate solution, this is what the AOA prefers.

So under this circumstance the joint-match would only benefit DO's, since the AOA residencies would still be there if we wanted them...

I agree!
