DO Student Scholars Program--Impact on Residency Apps

[Ratatatatouille]

Anyone have insight or experience participating in a student scholars program at their DO school? (Essentially being a paid student teacher/researcher of OMT for a year between 3rd & 4th year rotations. The school pays 3rd year tuition for you in addition to salary for that year.) The school claims it looks good on residency applications. Is this true?

It won't hurt your application in any way. It also won't make up for any sort of deficiency or red flag on your app. It's probably only going to be helpful for AOA programs...which may or may not exist by the time you apply for residency.
