Does anyone know anything about this program? Also, what's a competitive step one score for DO ER? Class rank? How about a good medical spanish book? Thanks!

I have looked into that program. I actually tried to rotate there next fall and they told me that they were completely booked from august until december ( i called at the beginning of March to set something up). I was sent a brochure of the program that gave me their curriculum and i was impressed. I am really not considering many DO programs because most of them are not level 1 trauma and not in major cities, which i think puts you at a disadvantage (for training purposes). But for this program you have to do a AOA approved internship somewhere else then start the following year (a 2-4 program) their pgy-2 year you are mostly at Mount sinai, i hear its a gorgeous hospital and considered a very good one as well. your pgy 3- and 4 years are spent between Jackson Memorial and Ryder trauma center (not too shabby!, they are amazing hospitals) and you will do your peds rotations +peds anesthesia at miami childrens hospital.
The only thing that worries me about the program is that its lists NO Benefits on the Eras website. But I will still apply b/c it seems like great training.

I would also like to add that Mt Sinai has almost all ACGME residencies besides their EM. This adds an interesting dynamic (which I see as a positive) of being a DO training program at a mainly MD institution. Alot of the drawbacks to going to an exclusively DO institute (I have a list but don't want to start a war here) will be avoided. I have read reviews where the residents have complained about being overworked- but the culture of residencies changes so often you never know.
I agree with you ElZorro, it is a definite plus that it has ACGME programs. In fact EM is one of the few DO residencies..most are MD approved. They have everthing from IM to Anesthesia (affiliated with jackson memorial).
