Hi all,
As I’m beginning to finalize my rank list, I was wondering if anyone can weigh in on bias against DO anesthesiology programs when pursuing fellowships. The one DO program on my rank list is ACGME accredited, but I was wondering if I will face a bias if pursuing some of the more competitive anesthesiology fellowships if I’m applying from a DO program.
Similarly, I’m not sure how to compare two of the new ACGME residency programs (that are advanced programs with only a CA-1 class so far - though will have a full class by the time I start my CA-1 year there) to DO programs. I.e. would I have a better chance at a competitive fellowship from a new ACGME program vs an established DO program?
