BAO for matching to OBGYN

[neuroace]

In terms of matching to the US in OBGYN- does anyone know if, all other things being equal, an IMG with a BAO [M.B., B.Ch., BAO is awarded to Irish/some UK med schools] would be regarded more so than just a MBBS?

Noone goes to the Irish/UK threads...

I'm not super familiar with the UK system of medical degrees, but as far as I know, it would be equivalent to an MBBS. The BAO does not confer any additional advantage.

To everyone: feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Agree, prob no difference.

Given that I've never even heard of a BAO degree, I doubt it's something that many people in the US know about. I can't see how it would possibly matter much in the application process.
