  DO and MD programs
Posted by: Guest - 09-05-2021, 10:25 AM - Forum: General interest - No Replies

What are the good osteopathic residency programs? Looking for a program that takes both MDs and DOs. 

Do patients really care about being a DO physician? Any DO neurosurgeon, I would really like to get your perspective.

  How much would connects help for ENT?
Posted by: in love with a lolita - 09-02-2021, 01:50 PM - Forum: General interest - Replies (1)

So I'm a DO student. My dad is an attending dr (clinical oncology) and is close friends with some ENT guys including the PD, at a small program. How much do connections help? Do you think they would "slip" me in? 

I know that DO guys have a reputation for being stupid and slow, which is somewhat true. But I have some good research experience. 1st year med student and want to plan this out. 

Thank you so much

Hello all, just heard I didn't get elected to the YNC and am a little disappointed. Can anyone comment on how useful these committees are towards careers, especially in academics?

  How many programs to apply to??
Posted by: Guest - 08-30-2021, 07:51 PM - Forum: On the trail - Replies (3)

Are we just all going to apply to every program??? In my case, even though I have good stats and AOA/pubs etc then I can’t get over the fact that many kids who applied nsgy from my school did not  match last year. Can I get away with only applying like 60 places with step 270+, many pubs and good grades?? I listen to the nsgy podcast and one of the episodes a PD says all this quantitative stuff is only like 25% of the consideration which is fine but makes me feel like Everyone should apply to every single program no matter how competitive they feel I guess. Any thoughts??
