DO and Allo Match Question

This is probably somewhere but I couldn't find it.

So if a program is dually accredited (has both a DO and MD match) which do I apply to on myERAS? I know I can apply to the DO match but they may only have a few number of spots.

Example: Via Christi FM program in Wichita, KS has both. SHOULD I apply to both? Just in case their DO spots fill up and maybe I can be selected in the allo match?

Any advice would be wonderful!

Are you registering for both NMS and NRMP?

Yes I am

Yes I am

Then yes for a dual program I would apply for both spots. If given an interview, it allows you to rank both positions and increase your chance of matching there.

This depends on the program. Some will let you pick which match you want to enter, regardless if you picked the DO or MD part on ERAS.

So probably best for OP to contact program to ask how they do that.
