Which of the following schools provide prestigious residencies in competitive specialties?

NSU-COM
NYCOM
MSU-COM

The last 2 schools give allopathic residencies...is that true?

Why doesn't NSU-COM give allopathic residencies?

Your input is appreciated.

In order to give allopathic residencies, a school must have accredited ACGME residencies. All of these institutions are osteopathic (except MSU which is also allopathic). I'm confused by your question.

None of these offer allo residencies, although some may have AOA/ACGME approved residencies i.e. NSU-COM FP W/ Duke. None offer solely ACGME approved residencies. MSU's MD granting institution does but not MSU-COM. In terms of competitive it depends on which specialty NSU-COM has two great derm programs, MSU-COM has ophtho as does NYCOM. Competitiveness varies based on your board scores. All of these are great schools, I'm at NSU in the BS/DO, we have the best weather and a great basic sciences/clinical experience, a 50-50 primary care/specialty split and it's South Florida. MSU-COM is a great school on a big 10 campus. NYCOM is a good school, my DO LOR is from a NYCOM grad, you can't go wrong with these 3.

Dude, what the hell are you talking about????

1. You're a grown up, quit trying to impress mom and dad. You aren't even talking about what field you want to enter, all you are asking for is where you can get the most prestigious/ allopathic residencies. Not a good mindset.

2. No DO school 'gives' allopathic residencies. All residencies associated with Osteopathic Medical Colleges are overseen by the AOA (American Osteopathic Association), whereas all residencies associated with MD schools are overseen by the ACGME (American Counsel on Graduate Medical Education). This means that DO schools don't 'give out' MD residencies ...

HOWEVER, there are certain residencies that are dually accredited by the ACGME/AOA, and those can be found at http://opportunities.osteopathic.org, and you can see which DO schools they are associated with.

3. NSU does very well with it's residency placements, many of which are into MD/allopathic/ACGME residencies.

4. NSU, NYCOM, and MSU are all well established schools and put people into ENT, derm, gas, rads, surg, etc, every year (ie competitive and prestigious).

... not trying to be harsh or mean, just think you need to calm down a little, prioritize, and do some research.

Oh, my. Where to start.

1. Medical schools don't "give" residencies. They allow you to be educated and earn your physician degree (whether MD or DO). Then you apply for residency.
2. you can apply for ACGME (MD) or AOA (DO) residency positions if you are a DO applicant. MDs cannot apply for AOA residencies.
3. Your ability to match into a given specialty is dependent on a number of different things such as board scores, didactic grades, clinical grades, and interview.
4. The definition of "prestigious residency" is dependent on the person defining that term. Can you please elucidate?
5. How many students match into some of the ROAD residencies depends a great deal on how many students want to apply into said specialties.

That's the quick and dirty. You might want to do a google search and do some significant reading and research to straighten out some of your confusion.

This statement needs to be banged into the head of so many pre-meds who use "match lists" to decide what school they want to go to. 🙄

In general, in terms of prejudice about the DO vs. MD debate:

military <<< civilian docs << civilian residencies <<< med students <<<<<<<<<<<pre-meds

Once you're done with residency, unless you're a sad and shallow person, the letters after your colleagues names won't matter nearly as much as their abilities. DO's practice in every specialty and are fully accredited.

The only people who "graduate top of their class from Harvard" are the doctors on Gray's Anatomy. Of the thousands of medical graduates each year, only a handful fit into that category. So, grow up, do what you want to do and quit worrying about what other people think.
