ACGME Gen Surg, no not realistically. You can do an AOA residency in gen surg and contrary to popular belief there are actually some really good AOA residencies for gen surgery. Like you mentioned you realistically can get into good ACGME and AOA primary care residencies in FM, IM, OB/GYN, Psych and I have heard you can get into really good EM just maybe not top EM residencies. Other ACGME residencies that are DO friendly are Anesthesia and you can get into the top residencies in PMR pretty easily as a DO. PMR is one thing I am very interested in and you will find every big name PMR residency out there with DOs in their program. You can also go on to sub-specialize in PMR in pediatrics, sports medicine, pain management, and spinal injury.
