Abstract
The authors report on the status of osteopathic graduate medical education training for the 2010-2011 academic year. Data are presented on approved programs and trainee positions, including distribution by state and by specialty. The authors also examine other trends in postdoctoral training including programs dually accredited by the American Osteopathic Association and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.
The annual report on osteopathic graduate medical education (OGME) is based primarily on annual data provided through the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) Intern/Resident Registration Program (ie, the AOA Match) and the AOA Trainee Information, Verification, and Registration Audit reporting system. Data in the present article are current as of May 31, 2011, and are reported primarily for the 2010-2011 academic year. Information on AOA-approved postdoctoral training programs and positions is drawn from the AOA database, and program information data are current as of May 31, 2011, except where otherwise noted.
