I actually feel that it is considerably hypocritical for the AOA to consistently expect the ACGME to cater to their needs when the osteopathic powers exhibit no reciprocity to acknowledge ACGME training. I can still recall as a medical student when I was accepted for a highly prestigious and highly coveted program at the National Institute of Health and my school would not credit me for the rotation as it was not an osteopathic institution. The same concept applies for ACGME trained DOs who have not done a rotating internship seeking licensure at those 5 states. For once, I would like to see the AOA focus on improving physician quality of life.
