Not as much as whether its a MD vs DO school. With the merger its going to be much hard to get into competitive specialties as a DO. I'd go for MD over DO if you could.How important is where you go to medical school in relation to matching a residency program, especially if going DO?
I've taken a look at a few match lists and although they are great, they seem to be regionally biased. ex. radiology matches will be within the geographical area.
I'm asking because I am from FL and would like to practice here near my family but I'm wondering if I go to a school like KCU or PCOM my options for coming back home may be limited, although I can certainly come back home post-residency (which is what most people seem to do anyways)
