Not sure why this is relevant?

If you look at the AOA website and figure out which DO's are in professions like:

Cardiology, Ortho Spine, Rheumatology, GI, Nephrology, Oncology- anything that requires a fellowship to complete the training.

I was citing the statistic for DOs west of the Mississippi who were ending residency during a non-leap year.

3.1123% was the number for DOs that are from New England who chose to do a Cardiology fellowship after switching from FM to IM...during a leap year.

OP...your question is silly and hence the silly responses. What you are really asking is if being a DO will impair your chances of getting a fellowship.

Answer, for too complex, but evidence would lead to a 50% No.

Cool brother thanks.for.the stat. However you are incorrect. It is.4.32678.percent. and I am curious because my evil twin got into d.o. school and is french. So there! Go bobcats!

60% of them go into fellowships 100% of the time.

For real though, a lot of DO's do fellowships. The future of this is foggy for now but you can certainly do a fellowship as a DO in most fields as things stand right now.
