Are you wondering how DO-friendly (or unfriendly) neurology is as a US medical specialty? Do you want to know your chances of matching in this highly competitive field? Would you love to figure out what neurology programs a DO would stand the best chance?
This article will give you the most up-to-date information on DO-friendly neurology programs. Use this information to strategize on whether – and where – to apply to maximize your chances of matching as a DO in neurology.
Summary:
- Neurology is a competitive US medical specialty but there are DO-friendly residency programs.
- Several residency programs accept at least some DOs, while others are DO favored.
- One neurology program filled all its available positions with DOs (Beaumont Health).
- See the full list of searchable residency programs to strategize where DOs have recently been the most welcome.
- Be sure to bookmark this page – and sign up for the newsletter – to keep up with the latest residency and USMLE trends and maximize your chances of matching.

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.

Neurology is Moderately DO-Friendly
Looking at the percentage of spots filled by DOs in the 2022 Match, we can see neurology was moderately DO-friendly, and it ranks just above the average of all residencies.
However, the match rate for DOs in neurology (92%) shows the DOs still have a great chance for acceptance in neurology in the 2022 Match:

The Most DO-Friendly Neurology Residency Programs
Several programs fill a proportion of their available positions with DOs. In fact, some programs are likely to fill most spots with DOs. For example, 6 neurology residencies in the most recent GME census had DO percentages of 50% or higher. Four had DO rates of 70% or higher: Beaumont (100%), Sparrow (76%), Kaiser (75%), and Ascension (70%).
Here is a list of the most (and least) competitive neurology programs for DOs. It includes data from the most recent National GME Census Survey. Percentages are of all residents in the program in 2020.
