Also, how is their interaction with the ABNS (the authority for certification of neurosurgeons)?
Residents completing osteopathic residencies are board certified by their osteopathic boards. In this case, DO's completing these residencies would be certified by the American Osteopathic Board of Surgery. They would not interact with the ABNS at all. Most hopistals consider osteopathic and allopathic board certification equivalent.
