Can MDs apply to osteopathic residencies this time around? I noticed eras opened for DOs in July but not for MDs til September. I was under the impression MDs could apply to DO residencies this year but its not showing up in eras.
Worst poster in SDN history@Psai It could be for multiple reasons. For instance, there is a DO psych residency program 20 minutes from my home and I am hoping that the merger happens by the the I am applying. It will be #1 in my list...
Why would you even consider this

There are no DO plastics or radonc residencies. Additionally there are very few derm, of which the majority have little to no funding. There are only 40 or so ENT spots, most being in the same geographical area. Someone mentioned Psych above, but the DO programs are notorious for being at small community sweatshops.For those looking to do derm/ortho/ent/plastics/radonc....etc. Most will go wherever they can get in, especially if its favorable geographically. If I'm trying to match ortho and a DO program has likable people and a good location, then I don't care whether its DO or not....afterall, i still get to keep my MD at then end of it all.
Not open to MD students yet. There also will be requirements as stated above. My guess would be that it's still years off before everything is hashed out. The requirements haven't even been decided on and there are still two matches. If you match AOA you are automatically removed from the ACGME which occurs later. That's not something you want.
The same reason DOs apply to MDs...you guys have had it good for too long!
