I realize that this is a DIFFICULT residency to land even as an M.D. , Im just curious if any D.O.'s out there beat the odds and would like to share their story. Thanks!

I believe the lack of replies to this question basically answers it for you.

Unless you've got a fat hook up in the field, good luck!

There are lots of derm residencies for DOs, many of which MDs are not even allowed to apply for (some are dually accredited, but some are only AOA). There are several AOA-approved derm residencies listed on

An example of a DO derm residency pulled from that list is one in Arizona:

Good luck!

The dermatologist my wife saw was a DO. PCOM grad and did her residency through PCOM.

Great! thanks for the links. I would imagine that even the D.O. Derm residencies are difficult to match, maybe even more difficult given the limited number of positions. According to "Isersons", there are only 38 D.O. training spots as opposed to 301 M.D. spots. Thanks for the info.
