How did it go for DO's in the match?

[Dharma]

Just curious to see how you DO's fared in the NMRP match. I know this type of thread rarely gets much love, but I figured it's worth a shot. With an interest in peds, I just want to see what prospects are like for a DO student at some of the better ACGME programs out there.

Congrats to all you folks who matched! Best of luck!

No problem! When our match list becomes official I will post where all the other people from my school went for Peds this year. Right now we are not supposed to release it.

Hey vita did you do away rotations at your top choices?

Hey vita did you do away rotations at your top choices?

I did two rotations at the place where I matched (but it is a core site, so not really "away" rotations). I did an away at two other places where I interviewed. It was good to see a variety of programs.

I know a bunch of DO's got into UT-Houston
