DO's in an MD PM&R program

[antispatula]

I've heard that many if not most MD residencies for PM&R are DO friendly.

I know that its a least a little easier for anesthesia guys to match into a pain fellowship since most are run my anesthesia departments, but that it's also perfectly doable for a PM&R to get into them as long as their research, LOR's etc are good.

My question is this:

Is there any difference in difficulty between a DO and an MD PM&R to get into a pain fellowship at an anesthesiology-run program?

I don't think that there is any real way to answer that question. Just a guess... but I'd think it's probably along the lines of how a DO applicant would fare applying to the anesthesia residency at the specific institution w the fellowship.

That said.... I am a DO PMR in an anesthesia pain program.
