Prox and Cons of different types of residencies?? Allo vs Osteo?

Hey,

I am currently looking into Osteopathic differences with the Allopathic counterparts.

For example, If someone went through Osteo Derm instead of Allo, how would that affect them? Would it only restrict them to Osteopathic hospitals? I think you would also have to stay in the AOA as well

Then there are also residencies that are dual-accredited by both AOA and AMA, if that's the case, then why do some DO students go for Allopathic residencies?

What would be the benefit of choosing dual-accredited residencies over Allo? Do people mainly choose Allo residencies if they want to do an Allo fellowship afterwards?

you're what, a freshman in college, and you're worrying about residency?
did you read the aoa-acgme announcement regarding residency programs?

 

[genessis42]

Ya, I'm just curious as to how it works out and stuff

I've heard that the accredition system will get unified.
Would this be good or bad for osteopathic doctors?

I think it can be good since they can go onto ACGME fellowship if they choose to more easily.It would probably make the two styles of medicine more interchangeable and stuff...But it could hurt DOs if the MD counterparts are allowed to apply for AOA residencies which were reserved for DOs only


it's too early for me to think about it, but I just like knowing Lol

A) It'll help DOs. There is no rational distinction for the separate but equal policy.

B) There are not two styles of medicine, that's DO-hierarchy propaganda that is shoveled to the masses in an effort to make the contrived distinction sound factual so they can justify their jobs

C) You won't be getting into a dermatology residency regardless, so I wouldn't worry about it.

👍


Probably won't even be getting into med school.

Yeah, DO derms can only work in osteopathic hospitals. If there are no derm patients, they're SOL. 🙄

Yes, it's too early for you.

Go enjoy college, and come back in 5 years to ask these questions. The ACGME/AOA residency merger is not fully worked out and we don't know what the final impact will be, but you're early enough in the process that it shouldn't be your worry yet.

 

[genessis42]

Yup. Couldn't agree more.

It probably sounds super-obnoxious for an Undergrad to ask these type of questions anyways Lol

This is a variation on the "DO vs. MD" and "if I go to a lowly DO school, can I still do X" threads that have been trolled to death. Let's move this to the Pre K-12 thread and be done with it. Please use the search function to find other threads like this; many exist for you to review.

Diagonal was banned? Wow, I actually enjoyed his anti-DO rants on the Pre-Osteo message boards.

Anyways, if Derm is your dream, then do everything you can to go MD and your life will be easier.

He wasn't anti-DO. He was anti-BS.
