Yea that's not what the merger does at all. Actually, it's pretty much the exact opposite of what the merger does.The poster was talking about the merger between AOA and acgme which opens up residencies to DO students increasing difficulty for carribean graduates.
ACGME residency positions are already "open" to DOs. The merger actually opens up all the previously DO-only residency positions to IMGs (i.e. Carribbean grads). It's actually a big benefit to Caribbean grads.
