Oh crap, I'm really a doctor?

I'm trying to pick potential dates to take both exams so I can develop a solid study plan and schedule. How wise do you think it would be to take the COMLEX four days after the USMLE and use that time to study OMM? Would the spacing be too short? For the DO students taking both exams, do you have any plans formulated yet?
 
I took them 2 days apart. I wouldn't do it any differently. Omt is a 1-2 day cram session with Savarese's book. The rest of the material, barring some differences in choice of which stuff is emphasized, is quite similar.
