Will c/o 2021 be the first to match after the merger or is 2020 going to as well?

"When fully implemented in July 2020"

Sounds like it will first begin to affect c/o 2021

Thanks. I wasn't sure if July was relevant to co2020.

It'll be before 2020.

so does this mean the class of 2020 will get the best of both worlds in a sense? They will still have some protected residencies that will end up being acgme accredited by the time they finish.

There are a lot of things that need to be cleared up here. These residencies are not protected anymore, they are available to any medical school; U.S. allo, IMGs, FMGs. Once these residencies get initial ACGME accreditation they are eligible for the NRMP match. So these initially approved residencies are NOW using the NRMP match, but will also still use the NMS (AOA) match until 2020. There will be a slow trickle of AOA residencies year by year into the NRMP match. So even c/o of 2019 will gain the majority of the benefit also. The transition will be complete by 2020, so c/o of 2020 will receive the full benefit. When this happens, there will be no more osteopathic match.

When my class graduates in 2019, it'll probably be expected that we will apply just for NRMP for ACGME accred AOA programs. Any AOA program leftover would probably not be a program you'd want to apply to.

I think the AOA programs will still need to have OMM certification, right?

Not all of them necessarily. Only certain ones will elect to have specific OMM requirements while others can choose to opt out (a surgical or non-PC specialty would probably do so).

I bet decades later most applicants won't know which residencies were originally AOA, since any residency can apply for osteopathic recognition, even the originally ACGME residencies.

Would be interesting to see how many of these originally ACGME programs apply for osteopathic recognition.

I'm going to say that most will be in Family med and PM&R, but will be interesting to see something unusual like an ACGME derm residency picking up osteopathic recognition.
