EM DOland has been discussed on a bunch of threads in the past 6 months. I understand the search engine is stalled right now, but you might give it a wiggle over the weekend.
In the meantime you should check out
www.saem.org
Go to the residency catalog and select osteopathic programs.
As has been said several times on this board, the most obvious hurdle that DO programs must clear to compete is a decent database with REAL websites.
Almost every allo. site in the US has a pretty little page with pics, stats, program details and contact info. It is rare to find an osteo program that has little more than a publicity shot of the facility and EM listed as a residency.
As corpsmanup and other veterans of this past year's trail have said, this put a pretty big damper on their enthusiasm for applying in the early match. It certainly has cooled mine.
That said, I am currently finishing my core rotations at St. Joe's in New Jersey. It is a site for the Seton Hall program. From what I have seen here, they are good peeps with strong didactics, good off service teaching, dedicated Peds ED time, a less-than-horrendous location(not Newark) with pretty good trauma Level 2 w/EM on every paged event. It is fairly new, (4 yrs. old) but the senior that I worked with this week was a guru that had a strong game. She was very honest about the program and had solid reasons for choosing her spot. She was also fairly blunt about issues surrounding the choice to go DO. Those have been discussed in detail in this forum and are worth a search.
Good luck.
