DO Scam!!
So my wife has talking to her old boss this afternoon and catching him up on the latest news of our family including where I will be doing residency. When she told him I was going to mayo he repeatedly asked if I had taken "the test all DO's have to take to get into a MD residency." My wife, knowing there was no such test, nicely tried to explain to this man that he was an idiot and to stop with his ignorance. This guy then went on for about a half hour or so about how he is 100% positive I have to take a test that will "prove to them that I am up to par with MD's" and that"I really know what it takes to be a doctor". He then went on to explain to her that until I take that test, eventhough I am already matched, I will not be able to start residency there. He pleaded with my wife that I look into this and "find out how it really works", so I don't mess up my residency spot there. If any of you have any ideas where I can go and take this test to prove I really am a real doctor please let me know ASAP!!!! I also am leaving this post to help all of you other fake doctors that have matched into a MD program know how it really works. I am so glad my wife ran into him today!!!! I knew I couldn't trust ERAS.

O, yea Shane I already took the test. It involves riding a unicycle and repeating the phrase,"I am a doctor, I am a doctor, I am a doctor." After that a little monkey comes out and gives you paper you need to get into the hospital.
If you have'nt registered yet, you better get on it there is only 2 unicycles and 1 grumpy monkey. I passed with flying colors.
I thought we took that test in Philadelphia...we just can't talk about it outside the "hall of silence."
No, it's just an online certificate you pay for which reads, "Certified D.O. posing as a Real Doctor"...our residency program paid for it for us.
didn't your wife work for a dentist. at least we as DO's can still be considered in a conversation about "real doctors" which is more than he can ever hope for. how is it that the person in our class that got into the most prestigious (however you spell that word) program is still taking crap about being a DO.
