My friends believe that by taking the USMLE as a DO medical student, you can become a MD. Or that a DO can become a MD by taking some test. Is that true?

DO students can match into MD residencies even with only comlex. MD students however cannot match into any DO residencies since, they did not go to a DO school for the extra OMM
Dude, you are so full of win!Can I become your dad by ****ing your mom?

The OP's question has been answered, but this response struck a nerve with me.
When a patient asks you, "Will my son get autism from this vaccine?", will you respond with some smart-ass, denigrating response like the one above? Or will you explain that all scientific data has ruled out any possibility that vaccines cause autism?
Not everyone is as smart as you. Not everyone is as wonderful at searching previous threads as you. There are a lot of people who get bad advice. When you know the answer to a question, it is your job as the teacher (the informed) to educate the student (the uninformed), not to berate and belittle.
I don't mean to offend, and I personally find the OP's question ludicrous, but he/she is simply uninformed and unschooled in the difference between licensing and degrees; he/she is not an idiot.
Like they would ever want to?![]()
hey, finally a pre-med with his head and his ass wired together. this is correct.
Can I become your dad by ****ing your mom?
Why would they not? There are so many students wanting to do Dermatology and a DO residency would be a new chance for a student out there. I also met a doctor that told me the only thing he laments of an MD is not learning OMM.Like they would ever want to?![]()

no.My friends believe that by taking the USMLE as a DO medical student, you can become a MD. Or that a DO can become a MD by taking some test. Is that true?
I find it interesting that sideway's crude, immature, middle-school mentality response to the OP has elicited such overwhelming approval from pre-DOs and DO students in this thread. A sad commentary on the maturity level of those who joined in to nod approvingly. Pathetic.
I'm pretty sure you know this kind of question has been asked multiple times. Besides if you use the search bar or even if you google the question your going to get your answer as "no". Many of us heard this question to the point where we know whats it going to lead to and I guess it's becoming amusing after a while. Were not trying to hurt anyones feelings here but using sarcasm and such pretty much gets the point across. You might call it immature but it's all in good fun. If you really want to know how many times this topic has been discussed just search it up.

I think most people don't approve of it but still find it hilarious. It's kind of like a racist joke. It's evil, personally I wouldn't say it, but something being funny is an involuntary act.I find it interesting that sideway's crude, immature, middle-school mentality response to the OP has elicited such overwhelming approval from pre-DOs and DO students in this thread.

I'd stop listening to such friends especially regarding medical school matters. MD students take usmle, DO students will take COMLEX but most i think will also attempt the usmle in order to get into md residencies.
DO students can match into MD residencies even with comlex. MD students however cannot match into any DO residencies since, they did not go to a DO school for the extra OMM

Deep thoughts. I'm sure your girlfriend is grateful you took some time away from disappointing her to post them.

My thought are actually not deep at all.
I'm tempted to respond by saying that your mother finds me to be the man your father never was. But I'll resist that temptation since that would be stooping to your level, wouldn't it?
That is such a silly notion. The DO vs MD issue is moot in the USA. I know some people going overseas anyway because they want the MD. I would not advise it to anyone. The DO is a far better route than a foreign medical school.
No that would be a sideway's crude, immature, middle-school mentality response. A sad commentary on your maturity level. Pathetic.
