Question about DO match lists

[DD214_DOC]

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of DO match lists? I really can't find any on the websites.

I ask because I am still learning towards surgery, but the match lists for the DO schools I have seen barely have any people matching into surgery. While I'm not objecting the possibility of working in primary care, I don't really want my future to be limited (although it probably isn't anyways).

Have you tried a search here on SDN? They are usually on here. two colleagues of mine in school matched in surgery, one at mayo and one at UF.

Q, DO

I found one for NSU, but it was 3 people out of the entire class. I wasn't sure what that means, if anything.

Like I said, I doubt it will be a problem but you know.

JKDmed, I sent you a PM with our match list from the past two years

DO's make up about 6% of all physicians, and about 3% of all general surgeons. Thus they are underrepresented, as they are in all specialties other than EM and FP, but are not as rare as in, say, ophthalmology or plastic surgery. In addition to the MD programs, there are 37 AOA programs which are obviously all filled with DO's.

So DO's are able to get into emergency med 'relatively' easily? I thought that would be a difficult specialty to match.

(yeah, i know that i know little about the match and such, but i'm still applying... 😀 )

You have much to learn young grass hopper. 🙂 Common public perception and reality are two very different things, especially when it comes to medicine
