A friend of mine called the Pennsylvania Medical Board and was told that they no longer care whether or not a rotation is DO or MD just as long as it's affiliated with your medical school. Even the forms that were once required for listing your rotations and the corresponding residency affiliations have been pulled off the PA Medical Board website.

I heard that Wyckoff finally has its own IM residency program. Used to be listed as the NY Methodist program at Wyckoff. Has anyone heard about Wyckoff putting in a bid to buy St. Mary's & St. John's Hospitals?

If you are talking about the two hospitals in Queens affiliated with St. Vincent Catholic Medical Center anything is possible as SVCMC has been in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy for hte past year and they are looking to sell off some of their properties.
