People believe that OMM helps, and to those people, I don't think they face any moral dilemma when pursuing that degree. However, if a person does not believe (i.e. "buy into") OMM as actual healing, I would think they would have a hard time convincing themselves to get a DO instead of an MD.
I think you're just pulling at hairs now. It's obvious that your opinion is a little biased, which is understandable considering you're a podiatry student. The medical field has become homogenized. Many DO's practice evidence based medicine while maintaining the four basic Osteopathic Principles. Likewise, MD's, to a certain extent, integrate these principles as well.
