Hey guys, I thought I'd come to you to see if you know the answer here.
I am a DO 4th year:
I am confused about the whole AOA approved thing. I will be trying to get into an MD residency. However, should I also look for those programs which are dual AOA and ACGME approved? If so, do I apply to them through the ERAS MD match--meaning that if I'm accepted there for residency then I will also be approved by the AOA to practice as a DO when I am through?
#2, Do I also apply for DO internships and then don't submit a rank list so that should I not match for an MD residency I can then scramble for a DO intership? Any advice would be appreciated.
