Hey guys.
1) How difficult is it to get into a PM&R residency in general for both allo and osteo...and specifically for osteopathic students?
2) I was under the impression that as long as one did well on COMLEX pretty much any residency is possible (I'm aware of the apparent prejudice towards DOs in certain residencies...and I'm sure some DO students do get into many prestigeous residencies. But, I get the feeling those are a bit more of an exception for DO graduates than it is for MD graduates.....again, I don't deny that DO grads do get into most residencies as long as COMLEX score is high). But, I was informed that in order for DO grads to get into certain "allo" residencies USMLE needs to be taken. Is this true???
If it's true, what residencies are unavailable (or likely unavailable) for DO graduates if USMLE isn't taken?
Thanks.
