NEOUCOM is not a D.O school, but an allopathic M.D. school. The COM stands for 'College Of Medicine', not 'College of Osteopathic' Medicine.

Sorry for the mistake. I will revise the post.

Just for the record ... DOs have their own set of dermatology residencies organized/supported by the AOA (American Osteopathic Association). Only DOs can apply for these residencies and they are filled with DOs each year. I also saw a few DO matches for Army derm. I know your reference was, most likely, only for ACGME dermatology programs, but just figured I'd mention it.

Military residencies are ACGME accredited

Hmm ... well, I am 99% sure I saw 2 Military derms on DO match lists this year (2009).

The one US-IMG who matched in Derm was a Carib grad.... supposedly with a boatload of research experience.
