I am a 4th year DO student who is VERY sure that I want to do path...
here is my question...
Do I stand a chance of getting into a residency being a DO?
As of late I've begun to get pretty worried about getting a spot somewhere, it's not a field that many osteopaths delve into. A lot of the programs I'll be applying to are kind of prestigious, as I really want to stay in the southeast. My grades are pretty good, boards okay. Oh, and I didn't take USMLE step 1 but I am considering taking USMLE step 2 just for something to go by. Anyway, some honest advice would be appreciated. I think I've decided if I don't get into a program I'm going to fake my death to get rid of my debt and live in a cave deep in a forest. Just kidding. Please help!!!
