Any successful Resolution 42 applicants?

Members don't see this ad.

I'm starting psychiatry residency this summer and planning to apply for Resolution 42 to get the intern year approved as osteopathic internship year.

So far I found this link as my source of information: https://www.do-online.org/pdf/sir_ogme1core.pdf

So for psychiatry they say an equivalent would be 4mo IM, 2mo Neurology, 6mo Psych.
This was published in 2008.

Is there a more recent document with requirements?

I would appreciate any advice from fellow DOs because this process is not simple.

Hey there! Another fellow DO who is going to be going through the same process...but in Pathology which doesn't require an intern year. There is an updated version, July 2011. http://www.osteopathic.org/inside-aoa/Education/postdoctoral-training/Documents/Resolution%2042%20-%20Core%20Rotations.pdf
Also here is the AOA link about Resolution 42: http://www.osteopathic.org/inside-aoa/Education/postdoctoral-training/Pages/resolution-42.aspx

According to this it looks like your requirements are the same for Psychiatry: 4mo primary care, 2mo neuro, 6mo psych. As for me, this now shows what looks to be a general intern year for Pathology, which in 2008 said N/A due to no osteopathic programs to compare...which that hasn't changed in 3 years, and Pathology doesn't require an intern year.

Hope these links help you, but anyone else with information or insight is greatly appreciated.

Anyone in EM know if there are ways of bending these requirements? Don't know of any programs with a general surgery rotation.

I'm so confused right now. So I'm in a med/peds program. I have all the required rotations to fulfill the first thing on their list, the traditional rotating internship. However if you scroll down to med/peds, my program doesn't offer half of that as a first year. Am I totally screwed?? For some reason I never saw past that first list. Please help!

Just apply for Resolution 42 using the traditional rotating internship requirement (which, as Med-Peds, you will likely automatically fulfill if your program allows you to rotate through the ED)

It's almost automatic for Med-Peds. Just make sure your rotations satisfy their requirements, do your educational component, and maintain membership with the AOA, and you're golden

Does one need to do this when they START residency, or is it ok to pursue this later?

Also, this is for practice in the "5 states" or whatever, right? Which ones are they now? I think they've changed since I last cared about this as a pre-med, haha.

Hey Digitl! You know who I am 😉
You can apply any time during residency, I've been in contact with the AOA, and as long as you complete your 1st year successfully, then you can apply. Other requirements are to attend an AOA conference, or do an Osteopathic Medicine presentation at your residency (I've read it's as easy as doing a presentation on "What is Osteopathic Medicine"), complete the application stuff, and make sure you are a member of the AOA during the time you are applying. I received a letter in the mail from AOA regarding paying dues for this next year...might as well fork out the $$ just to be in compliance. It's not a huge amount as a resident.
And yes, Res. 42 is really for the 4 states requiring the AOA intern year: FL, MI, PA, OK. It use to be 5, WV use to be one. So if you don't plan on ever practicing in one of those states, then you really won't have to worry about it. I'm only looking at FL for the future.

Okay, so if I want to do a categorical ACGME IM program which doesn't require a TY or a 1 year internship, will I still qualify for Res. 42?

so, if i dont maintain AOA membership. i cant be a part of this res 42 nonsense?

what happens if i dont have res 42 approval? i can't practice in those 4-5 states?

Yes. That's the whole point, essentially giving you credit for an osteopathic year while completing an allopathic year

so, if i dont maintain AOA membership. i cant be a part of this res 42 nonsense?

Yes, you must be an AOA member for at least 1 year.

At present, you are correct and would be unable to be licensed in those states. That being said, these rules could change at any time and any of these state boards could make an exception.

I'm in IM at an allopathic program. I was told the AOA takes some rotations/experiences instead of others...for example..women's health. I do not have a specific rotation in this...but I heard if we can document everytime we do anything related to women's health, that we would get credit for it etc. Same goes for surgery or whatever..

So anyone else hear about this method or is it just me? Also, how do we "log" patients for the rotations. Is it just program specific and how do we provide "proof" that we indeed saw patients related to women's health etc.

Thanks for the help.

I'm a DO student going to apply to allo psych programs, planning on applying for res 42 as well. The requirements include "4 months of primary care." What exactly does the AOA approve under the primary care months? The first year curriculum of some programs I'm applying to fit the requirements except, for example, there might be 3 months FM and one month peds. So, what exactly falls under primary care? Thanks!
