Any osteopathic students out there match in the San Francisco match for Ophthalmology/Plastic Surgery? Rough year this year for osteopathic ophthalmology all around

How does the SF match work? Is it fall all ent and plastics or just those in Frisco?
It's for ophthalmology. The plastics "residency" you see there is actually a plastics fellowship you do after general surgery. For med students, SF match = ophthalmology regardless of where you are.
It's earlier than the NRMP and NMS match.
Can't tell if sarcasm or ignorance?These are among the hardest specialties for DO students to match into, especially in a stellar city like SF.

Because the SF match has nothing to do with San Francisco...Exactly how many DO grads went into either field last year???

Maybe if he got his ass off SDN, stopped worrying about how much he can gouge students with non-refundable 4 digit seat deposits, and learned a little more about graduate medical education he could perform the duties expected of a dean of a medical school with exorbitant tuition.This

For a medical school.... If you're not a dean, which I certainly thought I've seen you claim, maybe you should rethink the manner in which you constantly give medical students advice. Seeing how you maybe aren't quite as informed as you seem to think.I'm not a Dean. I work for a living.

Double check your reading skills. You'll need them for CME. I have never represented myself as a Dean.
And boo hoo....I'm ignorant about the SF match. The bigger picture is that the fields discussed are close to impossible for DOs to get into.
Applying Ignore function now. You'll feel a stinging sensation.

DO in AUA match? That's pretty impressive. I think there are often no DOs that make it.No one cares about your argument... stop and get back on topic...
Haven't heard much from my class, although I'm not really digging for info. Did hear of an AUA match, but not ophtho yet.
I think part of it is that they are too scared to try for the AUA match, since they are using their aways for AOA urology programs. Not taking away from the sheer difficulty of matching into an ACGME urology program.
EDIT: I also remember reading that you can get pulled from the AUA match if you match into an AOA program, even though the AUA match comes first. So that is also another part of it.
Wow if that's true that's so wrong. Deciding whether to forego the AOA match and put all your eggs into the NRMP match is bad enough.

There are going to be several AUA matches this year from DO schools because a couple former AOA uro programs became ACGME accredited over this past year.

No offense taken. He is very knowledgeable about helping pre meds get into DO school. He should stick to that area based on his experiences and insight.No offense dude but Goro has helped more people on SDN then you ever will- he has every right to be on here. However, I agree that he should not be commenting on matters that he is not familiar with (e.g. San Francisco Match).
I wonder if there will be any traditional ones as well. It will be interesting to see how many MDs match formerly AOA uro programs, if any.There are going to be several AUA matches this year from DO schools because a couple former AOA uro programs became ACGME accredited over this past year.
Wasn't the AUA match like a week ago? Anyone know how well DOs did at the newly ACGME programs?I wonder if there will be any traditional ones as well. It will be interesting to see how many MDs match formerly AOA uro programs, if any.

I think the one I heard about was at such a program (i.e. newly ACGME). Last year LECOM-B had an ACGME Uro match at USF I think, so even straight ACGME Uro has happened before (as opposed to formerly AOA/newly ACGME), but it was rare.
Is there any way to view the AUA match results? Obviously I'm interested to see the makeup of programs that are newly ACGME as I think it'll provide some insight into what we can expect down the pipeline.

I usually like to use participated and matched, not registered because I like to give credit to the smart ones who jumped ship when they saw the swells and squalls coming towards them.Overall match rate of 22% for DO participants. Worse than IMGs. Yikes!

26% man!!
Hmm fair point.Gotta add the 4 who applied as graduates. Seniors and graduates are lumped together for IMGs. Just trying to compare apples to apples. Therefore 5/23 = 21.7%

NMS, and military match.NRMP, AUA, San Francisco... My Gosh!
this may sound as completely stupid but...
So you're telling me that for ophthalmology we do not use ERAS and use a completely different matching system?! Mind=blown.
