Hey guys, My school offers a DO/DMD 6 year program. I am interested in dentistry and neurology. I wanted to either specialize in oral surgery or orthodontics, and neurosurgery. Would this be possible or what would my options look like and how would my career path look like? Thanks, much...

I am currently in undergrad and I am considering rather or not to apply MD or DO. My goal is to be a pediatrician or even pursue pediatric neurology. I was wondering if it would be significantly harder to obtain this career path if I applied DO over MD? Thank you!
