Let's say I take the USMLE in addition to the COMLEX. Will I then be eligible or perhaps even competitive for MD residencies?

I know some residency programs, such as the ones at New York University Langone Medical center outright states that they don't accept DOs. Is this the case for most medical schools in NYC or perhaps even...the world? :laugh:

A rep from NYU langone specifically came to recruit people from my school to apply for their residencies. They'd def take DOs. Their schtick was they admitted they would only accept the USMLE as a board exam.

thx for exposing another lie by the multiple banned troll
"Cryoscourge" = "Girl Please" = "And I Was Like" = "ProtossCarrier" = "Handy388"
 
no reason to assume they're all the same person. (though I'll give you that some of them could be). Its just the sort of misconceptions that are out there in general. Dont get too worked up over them. Treating them too seriously makes the comments more 'real' than they need to be.

So apparently they tried to recruit DOs from one of the posts above.. but on their website.. they clearly state that they do NOT accept DOs.. I'm getting mixed signals here lol.. If I had to venture a guess, I'd assume it's because their policy changed (they now accept DOs), but their website has not been updated? Maybe there was a miscommunication with their IT people.

Difference between the hospital recruiting and the IM department recruiting. There are often vast differences in the quality and resident standards between departments within a hospital. If DE said that the IM department came to recruit then I'd say the website is off, but if the hospital came, then they could easily be open to DOs in PM&R, Anes, ER, etc.

plenty of DO's in this particular residency and in NYU in general . There is a DO resident in PSYCH. I also personally shadowed a cardiothoracic from KCOM who is an attending at bellevue.

^^not really a good example. PM&R is probably the only field where DOs face zero bias at any program (top program or otherwise).
 
Yea, all I know is it is the main guy for graduate education from the hospital system. Cant promise you he was talking about internal medicine. But at the same time, their IM dept website say that non US-MDs are not allowed to rotate on certain things unless they fill out special forms... but i called them up and theyre response was that was outdated and really only applied to offshore students and I am welcome to apply for a medical oncology rotation. (rotations =/= residencies, and i admit i only talk for the whole hospital, not specific departments, but its worth noting they have an outdated website for rotations)

you're missing the point my friend. the point of my last post is to say that NYU as a program does accept DO's. secondly i also mentioned that there is a DO there in a different program. the pgy-1 for psych page is not up yet though so i can't point you to a webpage.

final point is that NYU does employ DO's so honestly I don't care if there might be some bias in IM, surg, derm or whatever type of residency against a DO to have them on staff for 4-5 years, the institution does grant full time employership to DO grads

one example:

You are missing the point. See my previous post. Just because an institution is open to DOs, doesn't mean all departments are open to DOs. And we're not talking bias. We're talking policy against.

agreed.👍

However, singling out NYU as an institution which has a policy of not signing on DO grads is simply wrong. Sure there might be other places which might have this policy but it definitely isn't NYU's current stance.
