Dermatology match disparities: analyzing osteopathic vs. allopathic student outcomes post-ACGME/AOA single accreditation system (2020–2024)

In summary, DO applicants continue to have lower match rates in dermatology than MD applicants, with fewer DOs matching into traditional (formerly allopathic) ACGME-accredited programs. There are several reasons for this disparity. Systemic changes and further studies are needed to improve the success rates of DO dermatology applicants in future application cycles.

Abstract

In summary, DO applicants continue to have lower match rates in dermatology than MD applicants, with fewer DOs matching into traditional (formerly allopathic) ACGME-accredited programs. There are several reasons for this disparity. Systemic changes and further studies are needed to improve the success rates of DO dermatology applicants in future application cycles.
