Temple IM

Was that by choice? Like they really wanted to stay in Philly? Temple isn't a bad program, don't get me wrong but they would have had many more upper mid tier choices if they applied to other geographic areas with such scores....

Yeah they could have done wayyyyy better but maybe location was his priority!

I feel like its more than 3... It was 7-8 before the merger. I would bet in the 10-15 range.

Definitely nowhere near 10-15 DO ortho matches in MD places, There was only 4 this year (Mayo, UMN, Arizona, i forget the other). 3 iirc last year (NYU, GW, UW).

Also before the merger, you'd have to pull out of DO match to do the MD match, and many wouldn't take that risk of not matching vs matching ortho in a DO program

Sinai hospital in Baltimore is also MD, JPS is also MD..there are a few more I think

Last year there was also JPSx2, Texas Tech, Albany med center. Plus a few more community MD places...

And TCOM got another into JPS this year too. I get JPS is TCOM's home program, but it is a community MD program (and a damn good one at that).
 
That still doesn’t add up to 10+. But yeah I wasn’t thinking about JPS since they’ve taken several DOs and it’s considered TCOMs home program.

It's pretty close... I am sure I am missing a few others who matched to community programs...

Didn't know that, is that how it is with all child psych programs?

I found this link, but I don't know if its the same thing? Triple Board Program Residency
Click to expand...
I stand corrected. I had no idea this existed. It's not even listed on the program list when I originally searched it. But this is a pretty small niche though. There's only 9 total of such programs in the country according to the video. I wonder how many years of training is required to get triple boarded.

Edit: it's a 5 year program.

What UNECOM is like from a graduating 4th year

I graduated from UNECOM this year and here are my reflections on my medical education. All in all, I would say that, given my options for medical school, I would go to UNECOM again. However, I also feel very strongly, as do most of my friends, that my/our successes in entering residency was in...

Looks like the school is moving!

UNE receives $5 million to relocate its college of osteopathic medicine to Portland

The relocation will allow the university to admit up to 40 more students per graduating class, an increase of 22%.

Derm at UW?! Solid. And overall some solid matches IMO. Lots of university programs out West. I'm sure location helps, but still impressive.

This isn’t exactly true. You would only have to pull out if you matched in the MD match since it occurred first. Most DO ortho applicants would only apply ortho in the MD match. If they didn’t match they could still match in the AOA match.

You got that backwards. You also quoted a guy who matched ortho...
 

LECOM FINALLY posted its list. I see a University of Washington DR match, which I believe is excellent for a DO. Nothing else particularly stood out to me but there are certainly some strong matches for a DO school.

My campus had an 85% chance of matching OR placing into a residency program in 4 years, if you stepped onto campus on day 1. Estimating placement, you had somewhere from a 50-70% chance of matching in a specialty you WANTED. These are not good outcomes.

which campus were you?

Seton Hill. SH scores for the class of 22 were strong compared to the other 2 campuses. I would be surprised if they matched any better.

The bigger and more important issue is "would you go DO again?".

Reality is that things are trending more towards fewer options for DOs. Certain specialties are becoming more competitive. For an average medical student at a DO school (odds are, you will be), certain specialties are very, very unlikely to match into.
The support at DO schools is generally very poor.
The clinical rotations at DO schools are generally very poor.
The advising at DO schools is generally very poor.
The match lists at DO schools are poor compared to MD schools. I think many of us who have seen match lists for years could do pretty well in a blinded study, of correctly identifying if the match list was from a DO vs MD program. This may not seem meaningful now, but a lot of that speaks to having a say where you live. Imagine being around 27-33 years old and ending up in a place you don't really want to live, in a specialty you didn't want.

For its part, LECOM is cheaper than I believe all other private schools. But rotations are hit or miss, and all the things listed above apply to LECOM. They have stupid, infantilizing rules. For adults. Elmira is an objectively bad place to live. It is a new campus. If the SH campus staff exodus is any indication, they probably have remarkable trouble attracting good faculty the Elmira. As such they are almost certainly under-staffed and the staff that are there may not be established academics.

LECOM is opening a podiatry school and some sort of midlevel school in the near future. You may be rotating alongside people who are actively degrading medicine.

If I were applying to schools right now, I would strengthen my application and apply MD only as well as the stronger DO programs (mainly state programs, definitely not LECOM).

DO friendly for *now*
The number of US graduates applying neurology has gone up 32% the last three years. The only specialties with larger increases are radiology at 35%, anesthesiology at 36%, and PM&R at 37%.

Meanwhile the amount of 1st year DO students I know who are aiming for hyper competitive specialties have only increased.

I asked this in a thread I made previously and it seemed unanimous agreement that neurology would remain DO friendly. I believe even @Goro and others commented on it. DO and Neurology

no one can see what the future tells, as of now seeing a 92% match rate is nice for my *hopeful* future in 4 years

Yup, hence I would choose to remain cautious about how DO-friendly neurology would be in the upcoming years.
