Bethesda, MD, June 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) proudly announces that a record-high 8,117 graduating osteopathic medical students have been accepted into residency positions for 2024, representing a 99 percent placement rate for graduating seniors.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s graduates overcame challenges faced by no other class before,\u201d said AACOM President and CEO Robert A. Cain, DO. \u201cTo enter medical school during the COVID-19 pandemic, then go on to achieve a 99 percent placement rate is an outstanding accomplishment in the face of adversity, upheaval and change.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The comprehensive placement numbers reflect the variety of paths available for residency placement. While the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP)\u2019s Main Residency Match saw a record number of DOs matching<\/a> during Match Week, other opportunities for students to place include the Military Match, the San Francisco and Urology matches and the NRMP\u2019s Supplemental Offer and Assistance Program.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A record 8,033 osteopathic medical students participated in the NRMP\u2019s Main Residency Match in 2024, with 8,195 seeking placement through all avenues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we celebrate the achievements of our new DOs, we remain steadfast in our commitment to ensuring a fair and accessible residency application, interview and matching process for our students,\u201d added Dr. Cain. \u201cThe NRMP reports that 32 percent of residency program directors never or seldom interview DO candidates, and of those who do, 56 percent require our students to take an additional licensing exam to even be considered. We will continue our advocacy efforts with our peer organizations and Congress until this unfairness is resolved.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

AACOM is supporting the Fair Access <\/i>I<\/i>n<\/i> Residency (FAIR) Act<\/i> to help address this issue. This bipartisan bill would ensure that Medicare-funded residency programs accept DO applications and the DO licensing exam, the COMLEX-USA.
