Hi does anyone know how to find allopathic intern years that are AOA (osteopathic) approved. So that way I can avoid the osteopathic match, keep my opitions to apply for four positions into anesthesia as well as thre... does anyone know where I can find this list???

I'm not sure anything like this exsists. If it does, be sure to post, I'd love to hear about it! But as far as my research last year, an AOA rotating internship is a whole different beast, and you have to go through the DO match for it.

Some places might have dually accredited programs, like in IM or FP, and also have the DO internship, but I'm still pretty sure that in these programs you have to match throught the DO match for them to count.

Anyone else know anything different?

you have to go through the DO match...if they are osteo. approved they are DO. what you have to do is match a prelim year MD (hope it is osteo approved if you ever want to work in those 5 states -- some programs understand and let you structure your prelim year so it meets osteo req's -- look into advanced programs that have DOs there -- then you know someone has come before you to figure this all out for you). if you don't want to do this you will have to scramble a DO intern year after the MD match and then make sure your advanced anes program will accept the DO intern year you could find. good thing is many DO internships don't fill. you have to do it this way because if you match in the DO match (which goes first) you are automatically removed from the MD match.

i know it is the stupidest thing ever on the planet.

"if you match in the DO match (which goes first) you are automatically removed from the MD match."

In general I know this to be true for regular residencies, but I was under the impression that you could apply to the osteo Transitional programs and still be kept in the allo match, something to do with the transitional year programs being separate entities from the other regular residency things. Can anyone else confirm or deny this?
