AOA past president William S Mayo, DO, recently spoke with a group of osteopathic medical students about matching into residency, the single GME accreditation system and finding the right program. Dr. Mayo completed an ACGME-accredited ophthalmology residency at the University of Mississippi in a program that had never had a DO before. Here’s his advice for the next generation of DOs.
I’m interested in a specific residency that seems to only accept MD students. How does the single GME accreditation system impact my application? Does the program have to accept osteopathic students now?
Dr. Mayo: Residency positions are open to DOs, MDs, and IMGs. You could have program-specific biases based on the particular program, specialty or school. You will find that some are friendlier to MDs or DOs or graduates from specific schools.
You may want to call the program. Just because they don’t have any DOs currently in their program doesn’t mean they’re not DO-friendly and haven’t ranked them in the past.
The residency application process is full of questions. Finding a residency where you're a good fit is essential to matching into residency.
