ABSTRACT: The authors report on the status of osteopathic graduate medical education training for the 2009-2010 academic year. Data are presented on approved programs and trainee positions, including distribution by state and by specialty. An update on the impact of restructuring the internship year into specialty residencies is provided, indicating no net loss of training positions related to this initiate. Summary data from the American Osteopathic Association Intern/Resident Registration Program (ie, the AOA "Match") are provided.

ABSTRACT: Students in colleges of osteopathic medicine have several options when considering postdoctoral training programs. In addition to training programs approved solely by the American Osteopathic Association or accredited solely by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), students can pursue programs accredited by both organizations (ie, dually accredited programs) or osteopathic programs that occur side-by-side with ACGME programs (ie, parallel programs). In the present article, we report on the availability and growth of these 2 training options and describe their benefits and drawbacks for trainees and the osteopathic medical profession as a whole.

ABSTRACT: Osteopathic graduate medical education (OGME) continues to evolve. With the restructuring of the traditional osteopathic internship, which became effective July 1, 2008, for most specialties, the number of trainees in osteopathic residency programs has substantially grown. The authors detail the effects of the restructuring on OGME and provide an update on the current availability of OGME training opportunities. The present article does not, however, report data from the American Osteopathic Association Intern/Resident Registration Program (ie, the AOA "Match").

ABSTRACT: Graduates of osteopathic medical schools have several options when considering postdoctoral training programs. In addition to traditional programs approved by the American Osteopathic Association or those accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, students can train in programs accredited by both institutions (ie, dual programs) or osteopathic programs that occur side-by-side with allopathic programs (ie, parallel programs). In the present article, we report on the availability and growth of these two training options and describe their benefits and drawbacks for trainees as well as for the osteopathic medical profession as a whole.

ABSTRACT: The information provided in the present report on osteopathic graduate medical education (OGME) is based primarily on annual data provided through the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) Intern/Resident Registration Program (ie, the AOA Match) and the AOA Trainee Information, Verification, and Registration Audit reporting system. In 2007, the number of osteopathic medical graduates totaled 3103, surpassing 3000 for the first time. In 2008, the total reached 3462 graduates. Statistics on the Match in this article are reported for both 2007 and 2008. A total of 1267 (41%) and 1316 (38%) graduates and previous graduates participated and matched in 2007 and 2008, respectively. With post-Match scramble data, the number of graduates and previous graduates in AOA-approved internships and first-year residency positions rose to 1645 (53%) for the 2007-2008 academic year and is estimated to be 1828 (51%) for the 2008-2009 academic year. The response of students through the Match and the increased attention to innovative OGME development activities--particularly the internship restructuring and OGME Development Initiative--are evidence of a positive momentum in OGME in recent years.

ABSTRACT: Several aspects of osteopathic graduate medical education have gained momentum in recent years. Although the number of 2006 osteopathic graduates dropped slightly compared with the previous year, 2007 graduates totaled 3103, surpassing 3000 for the first time in osteopathic history. A total of 1196 (41%) and 1267 (40%) graduates and previous graduates participated and matched in the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) "Match" program in 2006 and 2007, respectively. With post-Match scramble data, the number of osteopathic graduates and previous graduates in AOA-approved internship positions rose to 1525 (53%) and 1663 (52%) for 2006 and 2007, respectively. Likewise, the number of filled osteopathic residency positions for the 2006-2007 academic year increased by 5%. In light of these increases, the authors compare AOA data with data from the American Council of Graduate Medical Education regarding osteopathic physicians in allopathic residencies. A brief summary of the restructured traditional osteopathic internships, which will go into effect July 1, 2008, is also provided.
