This article will give you the most up-to-date information on DO-friendly anesthesiology programs. Use this information to strategize on whether – and where – to apply to maximize your chances of matching as a DO in anesthesiology.
Summary:
- Anesthesiology is a competitive US medical specialty but there are DO-friendly residency programs
- Most residency programs accept at least some DOs, while others are DO favored
- Some anesthesiology programs favor DOs with some filling all spots with DOs (Cleveland Clinic and Oklahoma State).
- See the full list of searchable residency programs to strategize where DOs have recently been the most welcome

What’s the Difference Between a DO and an MD?
Let’s start with some definitions.
DO: Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine
- Licensed physicians trained in “whole body” wellness and treatment techniques in muscle and joint manipulation in addition to mainstream treatments.
Allopathy Vs. Osteopathy
In the US, there are two main branches of registered physician:
- Allopathy: In this path, doctors train in modern, sometimes referred to as “Western”, medicine to treat symptoms and diseases. Doctors who train in this branch are licensed as Doctors of Medicine (MD)
- Osteopathy: These doctors have the same education and licensing exams as MDs but have additional training in muscle and joint manipulation. Doctors who train in Osteopathy are licensed as Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) and have the same residency training and choices as MDs.
COMLEX vs. USMLE
To begin practicing medicine, DOs and MDs must take specific licensing exams:
- COMLEX-USA: This test assesses osteopathic medical knowledge in addition to allopathic medical knowledge in order to become licensed as a DO in the USA.
- USMLE: This test assesses allopathic medical knowledge and is required to become licensed as an MD.
NRMP: “National Resident Matching Program®”
- The organization that administers the “Match.” In the match, the NRMP pairs residency applicants with a residency program.
Note that prior to the 2020 Match, DOs had access to a “pool” of residencies reserved for which only they could match. The current system has merged DO and MD residencies so that every applicant has the same “chance” for matching in their chosen specialty.

Anesthesiology is Moderately DO-Friendly
Looking at the % of spots filled by DOs in the 2022 Match, we can see anesthesiology was moderately DO-friendly, and it ranks just above the average of all residencies.
However, the match rate for DOs in anesthesiology (66%) shows the DOs still have a good chance for acceptance in Anesthesiology in the 2022 Match:

The Most DO-Friendly Anesthesiology Residency Programs
While most anesthesiology programs do accept some DOs, some programs favor are likely to fill most spots with DOs. For example, 12 anesthesiology residencies in the most recent GME census had DO percentages of 50% or higher. Four had DO rates of 90% or higher: Riverside (90% DO), Kettering (91%), Oklahoma State (100%), and Cleveland Clinic (100%).
Here is a list of the most (and least) competitive anesthesiology programs for DOs. It includes data from the most recent National GME Census Survey. Percentages are of all residents in the program in 2020.

Concluding Thoughts
Anesthesiology is a competitive specialty for DOs. That said, there are still places for DOs with over 90 residency programs accepting at least one DO. However, DOs hoping to match in some of the most prestigious programs will find it more competitive with only a few programs accepting any DOs (eg., Harvard-MGH and Johns Hopkins).
Are you despairing at your chances of matching into anesthesiology as a DO? Then, check out Never Forget, where you can learn how to master – not memorize – for the impressive USMLE scores to match at your dream residency.
