Post-Merger Residency Options

[YayPudding]

Hi folks,

Looking for some information regarding prospects for osteopathic students matching into the following residencies post-2021 merger:

• Anesthesiology
• Neurology
• Neurosurgery
• General Surgery
• Radiology
  
• Emergency Medicine

Thanks!

Shall we try to predict who will win the 2020 election? Because we'll probably have better luck with that.

My guess is that these will continue to be DO accessible:

• Anesthesiology
• Neurology
• Radiology
  
• Emergency Medicine

Gen Surg or Neuro Surg? Be a superstar.

Surgical ones will be increasingly difficult because many AOA programs will not transfer over to ACGME for one reason or another.

NSG will be reserved for DO schools that have NSG residencies within their opti that make it through ACGME. The DO students without will have a VERY hard time.

Don't know much about how the merger will affect gas, neuro, rads, or EM.

As a general scheme. ACGME will require research for these once AOA programs. There is already a push to look for applicants with research experience to keep those ACGME research requirements upheld. It is much easier to do so with someone who understands the process of research and submitting to journals or conferences for publication than Simeon who flat out chose not to do research (which compared to MD classes is a much larger percentage). Now this research isn't like trying to gain articles in NEJM or the lancet, it's simply posters and other QI or retrospective type research.

Here are the current charting outcomes for DO students (small sample set): http://www.nrmp.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Charting-Outcomes-US-Osteopathic-2016.pdf

Noone knows. Do the best you can, you'll end up a doc whatever happens.
