Hey everyone,

The search function didn't yield much in the way of info about D.O. friendly OB residencies in NYC. I'll be applying this fall, but am at a loss on how to focus my applications. There are just SO many programs in NYC! I know that St. Luke's-Roosevelt has matched DOs into their program in the past...does anyone know anything about Mt. Sinai? I did an endocrinology elective there as a 3rd year and LOVED it, and I'll be doing a sub-I in OB there this coming Oct/Nov...don't know if it's a total pipe dream. Also heard some rumblings that Beth Israel's program is malignant, which is a pity because they are fairly DO-friendly! I'm not setting my sights on any of the big name programs (probably won't apply to Columbia (though I did rotate there), NYU, or Cornell), but I'd prefer a program with an academic bent. I would also *much* prefer a pro-choice environment, with opportunities for learning to provide contraceptive counseling and abortion care. Any advice?

Thanks,
Karen

I know the former residency director at the Wycof was a DO.

The sisters of charity program is dually accredited.

Thanks...I think I heard someplace that it's a pretty anti-choice environment, though!

If dual accreditation is something that interests you there are a couple of others. Go to osteopathic.opportunities.org, do an advanced residency search, and click dual accreditation box for OB residencies. Last I checked I believe there were 7 or 8 programs.

I heard you aren't allowed to prescribe birth control either.
