I took this from the U.S dept of labor site on physician occupations.
"Following medical school, almost all M.D.s enter a residency—graduate medical education in a specialty that takes the form of paid on-the-job training, usually in a hospital. Most D.O.s serve a 12-month rotating internship after graduation and before entering a residency, which may last 2 to 6 years."
can someone explain the last part. i heard of there being d.o restrictions in some states, but i'm not so clear on that. also is this a year of paid internship?
