Several aspects of osteopathic graduate medical education have gained momentum in recent years. Although the number of 2006 osteopathic graduates dropped slightly compared with the previous year, 2007 graduates totaled 3103, surpassing 3000 for the first time in osteopathic history. A total of 1196 (41%) and 1267 (40%) graduates and previous graduates participated and matched in the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) "Match" program in 2006 and 2007, respectively. With post-Match scramble data, the number of osteopathic graduates and previous graduates in AOA-approved internship positions rose to 1525 (53%) and 1663 (52%) for 2006 and 2007, respectively. Likewise, the number of filled osteopathic residency positions for the 2006-2007 academic year increased by 5%. In light of these increases, the authors compare AOA data with data from the American Council of Graduate Medical Education regarding osteopathic physicians in allopathic residencies. A brief summary of the restructured traditional osteopathic internships, which will go into effect July 1, 2008, is also provided.
近年来，整骨医学研究生医学教育的几个方面发展势头迅猛。尽管2006年整骨医学毕业生人数与上一年相比略有下降，但2007年毕业生总数达到3103人，在整骨医学历史上首次超过3000人。2006年和2007年分别有1196名（41%）毕业生和往届毕业生参加了美国整骨疗法协会（AOA）的“配对”计划并成功配对。加上配对后补充数据，2006年和2007年在AOA认可的实习岗位上的整骨医学毕业生和往届毕业生人数分别升至1525人（53%）和1663人（52%）。同样，2006 - 2007学年整骨医学住院医师岗位的填补数量增加了5%。鉴于这些增长情况，作者将AOA的数据与美国研究生医学教育委员会关于接受全科医学住院医师培训的整骨医学医生的数据进行了比较。文中还简要总结了将于2008年7月1日生效的传统整骨医学实习的重新调整情况。
