The NRMP identifies six "types" of applicants for NRMP matching positions.
Source:
Results and Data February 2008 www.nrmp.org
I propose each one of the these types be considered a pathway for entry into the US physician education and training system. Possibly the two foreign educated category be combined into one "IMG" category (since there's already one article on this.)

Don't see the redundancy argument. In each section, the allopathic/osteopathic parallelism is seen. MD/DO, AMA/AOA, AAMC/AACOM. The "pathways" articles are the general categories of this parallelism, the other subsections offer specific examples of the two categories. Bryan Hopping T 19:26, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
See title. Hopping alluded to an explanation on the talk page, but there is none yet. Here is a good place for it. Ante lan talk 19:09, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
On wikipedia, internal links via redirects should be avoided, hence "comparison of MD and DO" is the correct form. And I'm also interested in an answer to the pathways question above. If no one explains this section should possibly be removed. Also, User:Hopping is, perhaps unintentionally, pushing the term allopathic, which is not common and considered insulting by many. This point has been raised on his user page. The allopathic article is short, and describes the controversial history of the term rather than what an MD actually is. Hence a link to the MD article is far superior. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.135.100.158 ( talk) 17:06, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Bryan Hopping & whoever's using Tor...time to quit the edit warring here. Please take the time to discuss the best way to link from the template. — Scien tizzle 20:43, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
I've never really liked sidebar navigation in Wikipedia, and was wondering if anyone opposed converting this to a bottom {{ navbox}}? The current box takes up too much space, has a lot of white space, and all of the links are hidden by default. I can't think of any other sidebar navigation boxes used on the medicine articles, but there are many bottom navboxes. Also, why not simplify the name of this template to Template:Medical education in the United States, to match Medical education in the United States - the main article of the template? -- Scott Alter 04:58, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
