How hard is it for a DO to match into neurology?

NRMP Neurology Programs had 770 total spots/ 985 total applicants (Note that there are Neurology Programs through the Osteopathic Match, too.)

From http://www.nrmp.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Charting-Outcomes-US-Osteopathic-2016.pdf
NRMP data for osteopathic applicants: 69 Matched DO applicants/ 15 Unmatched = 82% Match rate into Neurology

Compare to NRMP data for US MD seniors: http://www.nrmp.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Charting-Outcomes-US-Allopathic-Seniors-2016.pdf
Matched 434/ Unmatched 18 = 96% Match rate into Neurology

It’s not very difficult.

(I posted this in the DO-section, but I wanted to open it up to the MD section as well. )

No. Please do not cross-post threads. I am closing the one in the DO-section.

The NRMP Program Director Survey:

http://www.nrmp.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/NRMP-2016-Program-Director-Survey.pdf

From 55 Neurology PDs polled (there are many more programs than that fwiw), 77% said they will interview and rank DOs.

It's not competitive.
