Hey, 4th year D.O. med student applying to both AOA & ACGME match....just curious about a question regarding the 2020 merger.
Is it risky for me to rank a program for the AOA match that does not have ACGME accreditation yet (it's AOA only, not dually accredited)? I have heard such programs are at risk of shutting down if they do not get accreditation by ACGME by 2020.
If I do decide to do the AOA match, should I only go for the ones that are receiving ACGME accreditation (or already have)? Or is it fine to attend a program that is AOA only.....
Would appreciate any input, thanks.
