I would like to know who the D.O.s are on the board and where they are interviewing? allo/osteo?
D.O. applicants
- Thread starter allendo
- Start date
I'm applying strictly to four states in the southeast: FL, GA, SC, NC and only allopathic programs. I'm from Florida and would like to stay close to both my family and boyfriend that is applying for Rad Onc. There are no OB/GYN osteopathic residencies in the southeast either. FL is also 1 of 5 states in the US that requires osteopaths to complete a "osteopathic traditional internship" prior to residency or an equivalent. There are only a few programs in Florida that do not require the internship prior to matriculation into their residency and will therefore work with our requirements for an equivalent. You can check my name on the interview invite list to see where I'm interviewing. Are you applying too?

Just to let all DO's know there exist a resolution 42 which allows DO's to get credit for an intership in allopathic medicine to count towards a roataing intership thsu allowing licensure in the 5 states that require it. Applicants must have hardship or be in a state devoid of rotating interships.

2. No less than two months of exposure in general internal medicine.
3. One-month exposure in emergency medicine at the base or an affiliate training site is required.
4. At least one month in family practice in a hospital or ambulatory site or one-half day per week for a minimum of 46 weeks of ambulatory exposure in a family practice continuity of care type practice site.
5. No more than three months of elective exposure adequate to meet the individual needs of the interns and approved by the DME/internship program director.

The "equivalent" I spoke of on my earlier post, was regarding the requirements needed to use the resolution 42. Here's a link to the specifics regarding this option: https://www.do-online.org/index.cfm?PageID=sir_postdocres42
From my experience talking to residents that used this option in Florida, it seems there are some loopholes to get around with and things usually work out well. Oh and here are the places I've interviewed at so far:
Mercer University SOM /MCCG - Macon, GA
Mercer University SOM /Memorial Health - Savannah, GA
Interviews to come:
PH/USC SOM - Columbia, SC
New Hanover Regional Med. Ctr. - Wilmington, NC
UF - Jacksonville, FL
Bayfront Med Ctr. - St. Petersburg, FL
Greenville Hospital - Greenville, SC
FSU - Pensacola, FL <---they require the osteo internship
Good Luck!!

Hey dmuryan. I'm an OMS-III based at Sparrow hospital. I just finished my ob/gyn rotation and I was very impressed with the program. Everyone was very supportive and interested in teaching students, which can be hard to come by. How did your interview go?
