Members don't see this ad.

I hate to be calling them this, but can you guys state the programs you know aren't so "board heavy", for osteopaths,

Need to schedule auditions, and am wondering where to go.

what does your application look like so far in terms of boards etc ?

hmm anyone? if not low tier, than someone that doesn't emphasize on board score as much, but looks at entire app (letters, audition, research)

thanks

Your best bet is to contact the residency program contacts (found on the AOA opportunities website) and ask them via email or ask for a resident contact to discuss this information.

Just from being on the trail so far, I can tell you some programs to avoid if you are not at the very least 550.
St Joseph's, Doctor's, Lutheran, Rowan (Kennedy)
A couple that I know put a lot of emphasis on the auditions instead of scores (mostly):
Largo, Geisenger, Genesys, Rowan Inspira
Good luck

Genesys has a cutoff before considering for auditions.
