Advice on applying to DO programs as an MD (T20 school)?
US-MD PGY-1 here, it gets tricky. A lot of DO-specific programs will naturally overlook you as an MD, let alone a Top20 US-MD candidate. Unless you have a.) away-rotated there or b.) have an INSANE connection there, I would not risk wasting a signal on a DO-heavy program in 2025. Alot of these DO-heavy programs will "protect" spots for DOs to preserve their presence in the field (and rightfully so given the competetive nature of the application process). Programs that come to mind are Orange Park and Hackensack - these programs take a massive majority DO with the occasional MD every other/few years. I'm willing to bet that MD had an incredibly impressive away-rotation there or a close mentor who knew the PD vouched heavily for the student.
< have spoken with the most recently matched MD at Orange Park and they confirmed they indeed do an away rotation. If there is a DO-friendly program you are serioualy interested in, you should do an away there to show you're seerious.
has anyone heard back after they replied to the Hackensack/Palisades email invite? like i see the date but no confirmation or exact time
does Hackensack prefer DOs?
anyone in waiting room for hackensack? < yes! was worried it was just me < haha ok thanks! was worried too!
anyone who interviewed with Palisades/Hackensack already know how long their interview day lasts? Thanks!
How is the hackensack program? < DO tabs might know more about that
