Compare NYCOM's match list(which was rated by some DO students as being extraordinary last year) to Drexel and it isn't particularly close. A ton of anesth. in NYCOM's match list, but that's only a moderately competitive field, and furthermore the program list didn't include a lot of top programs. Look at the IM matches at an allopathic lower tier private like Drexel and NYMC and then compare to an IM match list for osteopathic schools.....it's not close.
Ok, you brought it up so let us compare. First I will say that IM is easier to get into than anesthesiology. IM is in primary care and anesthesiology is a specialty. Most would agree with that.
The following are the NYCOM and NYMC 2003 match list respectively. Some things to look at:
In anesthesiology, NYCOM-26 and NYMC-14
In EM, NYCOM-16 and NYMC-14
In IM, NYCOM-41 and NYMC-52
In PM&R, NYCOM-8 and NYMC-7
In general surgery, NYCOM-7 and NYMC 16
As you can see, the two are comparable with NYCOM beating out NYMC in some areas while NYMC beats out NYCOM in others.
