MD Radiology residency from DO school?

[flatearth22]

What USMLE Step 1 score and other application stats do you think one would need to be competitive to match at an MD Radiology program if they are graduating from a DO school?

Thanks in advance.

This is a tough question to answer and would probably be best suited for DO applicants who have interviewed broadly in years past. That being said, as unfortunate as it may be, there probably is at least a slight bias against DO applicants, requiring you to have higher scores than your MD counterparts to obtain competitive spots. My feeling is that this bias is probably highly variable from program to program (academic vs. community, etc.). Past applicants from your home program may know which programs are "DO-friendly" and can provide some guidance.

Hope that helps some.
