Does anyone know which residencies are not DO friendly in CA? Meaning they won't take COMLEX only or just flat out wont take DOs.

There is one, i cant remember which, only accepts usmle's. The kaiser programs and oakland childrens are extremly DO friendly. They both have had DO chief residents! 😀

DOes anyone know what a typical income is for a general pediatrician (private or hospital affliated) in CA either Southern Cal or Northern Cal. I don't imagine the two would be very different...

I plan on practicing in CA and just want to know a realistic figure.
