The only problem you should have in an allopathic hospital is that you
won't be allowed to use any OMT on patients (unless you have a DO
attending which, although uncommon, does happen). The reason is that
since MD's aren't trained in this area they can't supervise you and
patients might be harmed as a result. Also, rest assured that you will
be treated with as much respect, or as little, as you deserve. You
will be judged on your technical skills, patient care, and interactions
with staff. We've all heard the "rumors" about how DO's are treated and
I'm sure that in the past they were treated badly, but those days are over.
I've had nothing but positive feedback from the MD's I've spoken with.
They don't care what initials come after your name, they care about what
kind of physician you are.
