From the state statutes:
"Section 630. Education and training required
To practice as an osteopathic physician, the applicant shall be a graduate of a
school or college of osteopathic medicine which is accredited by the Bureau
of Professional Education of the American Osteopathic Association and
shall have completed at least one (1) year of rotating internship or the
equivalent thereof, in an accredited internship or residency program
acceptable to the Board."
"(c) Postgraduate training. One year of postgraduate training is a requirement for licensure. This
experience must be in the form of a rotating internship or its equivalent, in an accredited internship or
residency program acceptable to the Board. To be deemed equivalent to a rotating internship and,
acceptable to the Board, a program must provide the following:
(1) The program must provide the following core experience:
(A) One (1) month - General Practice
(B) Two (2) months - General Internal Medicine
(C) One (1) month - General Surgery
(D) One (1) month - Obstetrics/Gynecology
(E) One (1) month - Pediatrics
(2) This core experience must be supplemented by three (3) months of Selectives and three (3)
months of Electives, accounting for a total of twelve (12) months. A Selective may be defined as any
core category or Emergency Medicine. An Elective may be any category of experience chosen by the
intern or resident.
(3) If an applicant has completed an ACGME accredited residency training program and become
specialty board eligible or attained specialty board certification"
Essentially, if your PGY1 meets their requirements you are good (which I realize are essentially the same as a TRI), or if you complete a residency in any field you are good. How this equates to "requires an AOA approved internship" to practice I'll never know... No student from OSU-COM even considers having to have an AOA approved internship when applying to programs. It is a non-issue. You don't even have to use Resolution 42 to get your license. All of my classmates going to allopathic residencies in the state of OK, will get their licenses with no issue, and can moonlight to their hearts content after finishing PGY1.
