I'd agree with DFrancyk on the poll question. For me, there was one goal: be a doctor. The politics, etc didn't matter to me. I'm currently on the fence, however about which to enter since I've been accepted at both. On the one hand, DO school was very friendly, great location and facilities, but MD school has better clinical training facilities. I've talked to a number of current DO and MD students and practitioners and they all say to find somewhere that you're comfortable - those that would stigmatize you based on your degree are in the minority. i find that most everyone is very open to either school - you've heard it a thousand times, i'm sure, but it's the individual that makes the doctor, not the degree. best of luck deciding...and wish me some luck too. :wink:
