Assuming your rotations were actually "amazing" (keep in mind you may be living in the DO rotations bubble and don't know how real quality rotations are like), that doesn't change the fact that vast majority of DO rotations seem to be at trash hospitals with trash faculty, such as physicians who have never taught residents or fellows. Until that changes, the entire medical world is going to generalize and look at DO clinical training as absolutely trash.
Aren't you still in the pre-clinical years? I'm not going to put AT Still on a pedestal and tell you all of my rotations have been incredible. But now that I'm almost done with fourth year and have compared experiences with MD students when we've rotated together, our rotations haven't been all that different. If you haven't gone through it yourself yet, it's a little insulting and more than a little presumptive to classify everywhere and everyone you'll work with as trash.
