Members don't see this ad.

With match day being yesterday some friends and myself were talking last night an wondered if a DO has ever gotten a residency at one of the top 10 schools? Please know this is only curiosity, I just figured a forum would be the easiest way to find out.
Thanks

 

[eddoc]

yes

Yes. There are DO's at just about all of them. I can vouch for this because several people from my school are residents at top 10 schools.

 

[Buckeye(OH)]

depends on the specialty.

Well, this doesn't really answer your question, but I know the chief resident of ophthalmology at UMKC was a DO. My husband works with a well known ophthalmologists office here in KC and they were really trying to recruit this guy.

PCOM has a PGY2 at UNC for EMED with Tintinalli

 

[TCOM-2006]

the ones that i can think of off the top of my head that TCOM has sent in the recent past are...

Mayo (PMR)
Hopkins (Anesth)
Baylor - Houston (IM)
Ohio State (Ophtho)
Cincinnati (Peds)
Baylor - Tx Children's (Peds)
UT Southwestern (Peds, EM, PMR)
U Chicago (PMR)

there's lots of others - just can't remember right now - will f/o if i forgot some other listings...

Are you sure about this? EMRA lists them as not having accepted a DO...in the last 5 years (and probably ever). Not trying to question you for the sake of argument, I am interested in UNC very highly for EM but have put it down as a long shot with their history of no DOs.

Sorry, I just looked at the UNC website and you are correct. I guess EMRA doesn't always have the right info. Well, that is very good to know.

Yeah, it was a big deal since he was the first DO to go there. Not only that but he is Army and is making full Captain rate for doing a civilian residency, which is pretty rare. 👍

 

[Buckeye(OH)]

I just glanced over the match list for 05 a minute ago for my school. There is an anesthesiology resident at JHU.

 

[Wyclef]

My good friend who went to Western/COMP matched at Mayo in Minnesota for Family Practice last week. Not too shabby I'd say!

 

[DrQuinn]

I am a DO, and when I finish residency in 3 months, I'll be an attending at the Emergency Medicine Residency Program at Georgetown University. It was interesting, on my job interview, he said "I think we had a DO here about 12 years ago...."

Not to be nitpicky but you can't make captain's rate if you're doing a civilian residency. Deferred Army residents doing a civilian residency aren't active duty during their residency and make whatever the other residents make in their program.

He's not deferred. Deferred means he didn't match to a Army program which is incorrect. The Army is paying for him to go to UNC so they can free up an EM spot for another HPSPer. That's why I said it was rare (Deferrals are not that rare).

Why would the Army do that??? Did someone pull some strings to get the EM spot for the other HPSPer???

Good for him, regardless. He's getting the best of both worlds. Superior training and better pay as a resident.

HEY!!! I actually rotated with this guy as my intern. He's an excellent doctor and a great teacher. Congrats to him!!!

 

[heech]

TUCOM-MI has anesthiology at Davis/Yale/UW, PM&R at Hopkins, EM at USC in recent years. Haven't yet seen 2006 match list.

You are right, he is not deferred. He is likely FTOS (Full Time Outservice) which, if it is like the Navy, means he is being paid by the Navy and has to regularly report. In a deferment, the military gives you a leave without pay for the time you do your residency.

 

[doctor07]

I know some CCOM grads at Loyola in General Surgery and Urology. Many others have matched at every program in Chicago.

Any DOs ever match in derm? My dermatologist in New Jersey is a DO, but I figure with the competiveness of the derm residencies, this has to be pretty rare...

There is a decent amount of osteopathic dermatology residencies.

 

[beastmaster]

What about the harvard affiliates, any DOs there (other than anesthesia and pm&r)?

 

[Molly Maquire]

Have any DOs been accepted into the Internal Medicine programs at MGH, Brigham, Columbia, Cornell, NYU, or Hopkins?

 

[TCOM-2006]

hopkins - yes, i don't know about the others

 

[(nicedream)]

Keep in mind that a history of DOs at a program is often not indicative of the potential for DOs being matched there in the future. In many cases very few DOs have ranked a given program, or were withdrawn from the NRMP after matching AOA. In addition, just by the laws of mathematics, with the small number of graduating DOs each year, and the even smaller portion of them applying to a given program, their success or failure doesn't really tell us anything - it is too small of a sample. I'd say to just not count on anything, and to not count anything out. Apply and see what happens.

The Army is doing that because they project a HUGE loss over the next couple of years and realize that they'll need more. You'll see when you start. A friend of mine (yes, DO), is going out (UNC?) for derm and will be making full active duty pay as a resident -gotta love the increase in bonus pay from intern to resident.

 

[delicatefade]

Well, I'll believe it when I see it.

i know someone matched from tcom into the derm program at univ of new mexico - and i think someone matched acgme derm this year - but not totally sure.

can you post the tcom 2006 match list

 

[TCOM-2006]

can you post the tcom 2006 match list

i'll try to find the list and post - i did *hear* that someone matched at case western for derm - and i know for sure that we had a match to ohio state for ophtho, and cleveland clinic for medicine.

Well, this doesn't really answer your question, but I know the chief resident of ophthalmology at UMKC was a DO. My husband works with a well known ophthalmologists office here in KC and they were really trying to recruit this guy.

If this guy is the current cheif, he was a lab partner of mine. Smart as hell. I've found that DOs get in where they belong. Many classmates are/were training at top programs - but they were qualified to be there. They aced their boards, and their rotations, and everything else.

Many reasons people go DO. The ones who are at the top (just as in MD) often end up going to the top places for residency.

 

[PhDtoDO]

Hopkins....yes.

Wash U too.

Can't say what residencies, just that its not uncommon for DOs to be at these two schools.
