Osteo residency

I was curious. Are there any AOA EM residencies. If there are, are you able to work in most hospital ER's without having gone through a allopathic residency once you are completed.
thanks

The answer is yes and yes. Here is a link to the AOA residencies in EM http://opportunities.aoa-net.org/residencies/emergencymed/emergencymed.htm

thanks for the great site and info, but my real concern is whether I'll be able to practice in almost any ER throughout the country, whether it is a major trauma center or suburbian ER? Will i have to work in a D.O. oriented hospital? thanks

12R35y: as a DO you have FULL licensure to practice anywhere you want!! ofcouse being a DO you might be discrimated by "old-school" docs, but who cares right? they'll all die of old age sooner or later

Not entirely true: I believe that you must take the USMLE in order to practice in LA. Alternatively, if you secure a license in another state and then move to LA, you may practice there. Could pose a real problem to some people, but probably not a major issue.

the best ER physicians are actually DOs believe it or not!!!!!

Plus DO residencies are very good in this arena!!!!

Thanks for the responses so far. I was wondering......? I know that EM residencies are some of the most competitive around for ACGME at least, how is it in the AOA approved residency arena? Still horendously competitive? thanks
