Hi everyone, I was hoping for some advice given my situation. I have been looking at old threads about away rotations but I don't really see any recent ones similar to my own. I am a 3rd year DO student and scored above 260 on step 1, and around 800 on COMLEX (99.9th percentile), have honors grades in obgyn, surgery, medicine, HP in peds. I have 3 first author publications on pub med so far (one ENT related) and working on more, a poster presentation from a highly involved original research project, and am ranked in the top 5 of my class. I have become highly interested in an academic career during medical school as I love to teach and I love to work on the complicated cases. I know that being a DO puts me at a big disadvantage despite my otherwise seemingly competitive application. I know the historically AOA accred. residencies would be open to me but I would truly love to train at an academic institution. Does anyone have any advice on programs I should consider for away rotations? I would appreciate any other advice as well. Thank you!
