Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated whether holistic review workshops in medical school admissions led to greater diversity among accepted applicants and matriculants.
  • Data from 134 accredited medical schools from 2006-2016 showed that schools with these workshops had higher diversity metrics, including first-generation college students and racial/ethnic minorities, after the workshop.
  • The findings suggest that implementing holistic review workshops is linked to significant and sustained increases in diversity at medical schools that participated in them.

Purpose: To determine the number of DO (doctor of osteopathic medicine) and MD (doctor of medicine) residents in training programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) and to examine the behavior of DO residents who moved between the two types of programs.

Method: In 2013, the authors linked data on residents reported in ACGME-accredited and AOA-accredited programs in 2009, 2010, and 2011 to produce a count of all residents, including an unduplicated count of residents reported in joint programs. DO residents were identified who moved between AOA-accredited and ACGME-accredited programs.
