Do I actually want to be a psychiatrist or did I just love the team I worked with, receive constructive feedback, and learn so much about an interesting field? I feel like this is going to be a monthly problem for me 😅

I was fortunate to present the results of my surgery program director survey at the @ACOS_MSS conference. Single accreditation & pass/fail Step 1/Level 1 have changed the landscape of residency applications, especially for DO students applying to surgery. Here's what we found 🧵

When I first got interested in ortho in college (~8 years ago), it was around 12%! As an applicant, I can see myself (female and a DO) represented in many of the programs & I can't wait to be that role model for someone else. There's work to do but change is definitely happening.

@TylerWillUIW @StudentAOAO Even harder to tell if you're competitive with pass/fail Step 1. Match rate might drop significantly from students over-indexing a connection at a certain program or completing aways at programs we don't yet realize are a "reach." Completely agree good/honest mentors are vital.

Check out this thread: Only 19 out 300+ surgery PD respondents said they won't match a DO student. Majority of PDs of both formerly-AOA accredited and non-AOA programs said they recommend or require DO students to take Step 1 (even if P/F only) & Step 2.

@CalebMWagner @StudentAOAO Connect with current residents from your school who matched into ortho in the past 3 years. They can give you the best advice on research, mentors, programs, etc. *specific to your school*. Have a variety of mentors + ≥1 DO mentor. The process is very different as a DO student.

Voluntary, anonymous Qualtrics survey sent to all program directors in 10 surgical specialties. 19.2% response rate (actually great for these types of surveys, average is about 10%). Of note, we excluded 19 programs which stated they do not interview DOs.

@jillianhackney @SarinPaluri Hey Jillian, I'm interested in ortho too! Have you checked out @RJOSociety and @PerryInitiative ? They're great places to find female mentors. Also @MSOSOrtho has a free virtual conference every year and it's a great place to present research and learn from residents and PDs.

If you're taking your neuro shelf and see small cell lung cancer in a question, the correct answer will always be Lambert-Eaton Syndrome. 100% of the time. Do not pass go.

With regards to USMLE Step 2CK, we found that the majority of both formerly AOA and non-AOA surgical programs recommend or require Step 2CK. Interestingly, the majority of formerly AOA surgical programs required it.

@A_Sapp12 I wish they had put a limit on each type (research, volunteer, work, etc.) instead of 10 total. I think applicants will appear less well-rounded because they'll want to list the things that pertain most to the specialty they're applying.

@BayatonAJ @Aberry_Med @drharrislakers Have a PD or mentor in the field review your application & give you honest feedback. Look at the NRMP's Charting Outcomes in the Match & compare your app to matched applicants. Rotate at a program as a 3rd year (if you can) & ask how you compare to applicants they've interviewed.
