OK, we move the discussion to a new thread.
The trend already started a few years ago. It's expected more than 20,000
AMG+DO students will participate in NRMP Match this year.
AMG,DO,AMG+DO for NRMP Match
2010 16,427 2,965 19,392
2009 16,008 2,875 18,883
2008 15,692 2,711 18,403
2007 15,667 2,398 18,065
【 在 nn928 (baoma) 的大作中提到: 】
: 这个在官网上是有的, 但这批人要四年后才毕业.
: 总的趋势是ECFMG关门。

There was a bill for residency cap removal/position increase (about 3500 a
year). But the bill never came out from the committee simply because US
government has no money for this now.
Currently the total number of first-year residency spots is about 24,000.
The number registered for the 2010 Match was 37,556.

Yes, this gradually increased from 2002, and the number of AMG will be
sufficient to fill all residency position
by year of 2016 ior 2017.
So ECFMG will close.
possibly, just some AMGs will find residency position in future.

Thank you for the information regarding this sharp increase of AMG this year
. It is absolutely shocking to me.I have not realized this toughness of
situation in 2011 match.
What is the cause of this significant shooting up of AMG?
What can we do in this situation? Because there will be only roughly 4000
total positions for all FMG in all specialties.

The official stand of AAMC is to produce enough physicians by US medical
schools. US medical schools and DO schools gradually increase enrollment,
and some new schools were opened or planned to open.
For CMGs:
1) Act fast - don't wait several years to complete USMLE exams;
2) Set a realistic goal - aiming for some good specialties but also have a
backup plan. IM is still the best bid for many;
3) Well prepared - try to improve your credential and build up connections;
4) Apply broadly and go to as many interviews as you can.

They have their own match programs but the number of positions is not enough
. Some of them also take USMLE exams. 2,965 of them participated in NRMP
Match in 2010. Yes they can apply for any specialties, just like MD students.

During my OB, I have worked with some very exellent and aggrasive DO.s. The
resident I shadowed is also a DO. too.
I am scared by this thread. What can we do？Look for back up plan ACAP in
case not matched?
