Is DO competitive for MD EM residency?

Hey there OP, I am in pretty much the same situation as you, 1st year DO, Canadian, wanting EM.
From what I understand, EM alone is reachable if you do well. What MIGHT cripple us is the whole H1B thing, a lot of hospitals don't offer that, and when they do, they tend to be either super good (east coast big name hospitals) or super bad (who just want to fill their roster). But this is just unconfirmed rumor.
For now though, I would agree with the above posts: do your best in class, learn as much as you can, do well on boards, then shine your rotation, and worry about matching later. **** might still hit the fan but you will always keep more doors open by having worked hard.
