Overall, programs and medical students had a successful match, the highest to-date for osteopathic medical students with a record-setting 91.6 percent match rate.

US DO seniors saw an increase in participation of 7,436 participants, an increase of 133 and a match rate of 91.6 percent, a 0.3 percent increase from 2022 and an all-time high in the NRMP match. The match rate for DO graduates is at 47.9 percent, a slight decrease from last year. Read the AOGME analysis report.

On March 8, 2023, Tyra Fainstad, MD, presented an important session on imposter syndrome, where she unpacked unhelpful habits like perfectionism that ironically end up sabotaging your learners. As a certified professional life coach who has built a coaching curriculum to decrease burnout for medical trainees called Better Together, Dr. Fainstad feels passionate about mitigating this toxic syndrome.

Upcoming AOGME Webinars

Join us on June 28, 2023, at 4:00 PM ET, for a webinar with Shiby Abraham, MD, on physician burnout and moral injury. Since COVID, there has been more talk and concern about clinician burnout. However, many physicians feel their burnout is due to moral injury. Moral injury differs from burnout, as it is damage done to one's conscience rather than resilience. In this webinar, Dr. Abraham will help you understand how moral injury affects clinicians' overall wellbeing and their patients. Register for the webinar.
