Equal but Separate: The Slow Assimilation of Osteopathic Surgery Residents Two Years After the Unified Match.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to monitor the integration of general surgery residency programs before and after the 2020 unified match. We hypothesized that integration of osteopathic (DO) surgery residents would increase.

Design: We performed a retrospective cohort study of surgery residency programs between 2019 and 2021 utilizing data provided by the Association of American Medical Colleges.

On the Eve of Integration: Community and Affiliated Residency Programs Pave the Way Towards the Assimilation of Osteopathic Surgery Residents.

Objective: The 2020 match integrated former osteopathic and allopathic residency programs under single Graduate Medical Education accreditation. We describe the composition of general surgery residency programs prior to the 2020 integration and provide a baseline to monitor future progress.

Design: Retrospective, cross-sectional data provided by the Association of American Medical Colleges for the 2018 academic year were analyzed.
