Hi everyone! OMS-1 here. My school offers a DO/MA program, and I am considering it as the topic interests me. I was wondering what kind of edge (if any) a MA gives for residency? It will take up time that I otherwise would probably be involved in clubs or research. I do not think I will end up...

Has anybody applied to this program? Or has any information on it?

I don't want to focus too much on my sob story, but the gist of it was my biggest support system passed away during undergrad and I spiraled. To get straight to the point, I graduated in the spring with a 2.7 GPA, have over hundreds of community service hours, research, and I'm currently a CMA...
