LECOM-B 2013 match--pretty good?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I know nothing about match lists, but I was more impressed with the neurosurgery and rad onc from Erie. I think its dumb that it doesnt differentiate between campuses when listing the locations of the residencies. I cant tell anything from the list except the numbers list at the end.
 
Seems better than most. Mostly mid to lower tier Acgme programs. Some good places, though. I do think, however, the list is somewhat misleading. I'd be surprised if they had 2 matches at university of Chicago for internal medicine. I'd imagine those people matched at university of Chicago north shore or another university of Chicago community program. It's hard to gauge since the list has over 400 graduates on it.

Seriously, why is it I never see the matches for the AOA Derm positions? They do exist, after all.

They do exist. You do not match into them as a 4th year medical student. You match into them as a pgy1 (post grad year 1). That's why you never see them on match lists.
 
i wish match lists would include the % of students matching their first choice.

81% of independent applicants, which includes DOs, in the Acgme match match into 1 of their top 3 choices. Not really related to your statement, but whatever. Im bored.

Yeah, I also think it looks good. I wish all schools had these kinds of lists. Not all of them show recent matches, even less listed as ACGME or AOA.
I'd be nice If we had a thread with recent match lists for all COM's

Most get posted under the osteopathic medical student section; not the pre- osteo section. There is a thread entitled "match results 2013" on the first page, I believe.
 
The neurosurg was from Erie. Radonc was also Erie. The information isn't entirely accurate though. The two military ortho matches are at the same program, not different programs. There also should be an EM/IM at Aria in Philly that's not listed.
 
What are "traditional rotating" internships, just another word for transitional/prelim year? I wonder how many of those students are hoping to match into a residency that requires a transitional/prelim year vs. the number of students who couldn't match and just scrambled (or SOAP'd or whatever the hell they call it) into those potentially dead-end positions.

Traditional rotating internships are DO internships where you rotate through different specialties, almost similar to 3rd year med school. Transitional years are ACGME and most of it is ward medicine but you also get a decent amount of electives. TY is usually sought after by those going into specialties like derm, rads, gas, ophtho, etc.

Why would someone do a traditional rotating internship if they're distinct from transitional years?

Transitional years are competitive believe it or not. Also, if you matched into an ACGME residency, but want to practice in either PA, FL, MI, or OK, you need to do an AOA traditional rotating internship to get a medical license. There is a way around that requirement, however. Its called resolution 42.

Most people that are doing TR internships, at least at my school, did not match.

Cliquesh beat me to it but I will re-iterate what he/she said.

TRIs are done by people who don't know what they want to go into or may not have matched and had to scramble into an osteopathic internship. They aren't particularly competitive to get into. TYs are much more competitive since it's usually a cush intern year so many spots are taken by MDs.

Also there are 4 states (PA, MI, FL, OK) which require the osteopathic intern year (either a TRI or a linked osteopathic residency) to be able to be licensed in those states after residency. If you do ACGME you have to petition the AOA through Resolution 42 to have your internship count. You usually have to go to AOA conferences, be part of the AOA in residency, do osteopathic stuff, etc if you can't fulfill the TRI requirements. Here's the AOA page regarding it http://www.osteopathic.org/inside-aoa/Education/postdoctoral-training/Pages/resolution-42.aspx as well as an article in the DO http://www.do-online.org/TheDO/?p=132581
 
oh wait there's a difference between transitional year and traditional rotating internship?

if TRI's are 3rd year analogues, then what do docs do in transitional years?

TRI requirements - Minimum of 6 months training in any or all basic core disciplines •General internal medicine•General surgery•Family medicine•Pediatrics•Obstetrics/gynecology (ambulatory gynecology)•Emergency medicine
At least 2 months general internal medicine
At least 1 month emergency medicine
At least 1 month family
medicine OR ½ day per week (for a minimum for 46 weeks) of ambulatory exposure in a family medicine continuity of care type medicine site
No more than 3 months of elective exposure (to be approved by DME/internship
program director)
No more than 1 month may be spend in non-clinical experience (research, etc)

http://www.osteopathic.org/inside-a...ng/Documents/resolution-42-core-rotations.pdf


TY requirements - A minimum of 24 weeks of disciplines that provide fundamental clinical skills (Emergency Medicine, Family Practice, Internal Medicine, OB/GYN, Pediatrics or Surgery) plus:
A minimum of 4 weeks of Emergency Medicine
A minimum of 4 weeks (140 hours) of ambulatory care from Family Practice, Internal Medicine, OB/GYN, Pediatrics, or Surgery
A minimum of 8 weeks of electives

The big difference is the end goal for the internship. TY is the PGY1 year for someone who has matched into an advanced residency. Many doing TRI did not match into a PGY2+ residency so they have to reapply during their internship.
