MD Student in DO Residency

[Doktur]

I'm an M3 at a top 50 allopathic state school. I fell in love with surgery but unfortunately, because of some personal issues, I needed to take Step 1 three times to pass. I ultimately only got a 186. I realize that I would possibly match at a lowest tier community program in Bufu if I am lucky. However, I was thinking about applying to DO surgical programs. I may be competetive compared to osteopathic students and match at a quality osteopathic in a cool city since I'll have the MD after my name. Is this a good idea or career suicide? Thanks for the advice.

I dont think this is possible.. I think ONLY DOs can match into DO residencies.

That is correct, osteopathic residencies are limited to D.O.s only.

and anyways, the competition for the limited surgical osteopathic residencies is fierce..

Don't bother with this one - someone's trolling.
