I'm intending to apply to become a DO, and was wondering what the availability was for Osteopathic docs to specialize in infectious diseases. While I know several schools that I'm interested in have dual masters option in public health, and many, many DO's end up going into internal medicine for their residency, I can't seem to find any information regarding DO's specializing in Infectious Diseases. Is there any bias currently between allopathic and osteopathic docs in these fellowships, do most require the USMLE over the COMLEX, etc? I'm hoping for better luck than the last thread on the topic which was over 10 years ago...
Given the correlation between the prevelence of infectious disease and socioeconomic status, I'm surprised there isn't more info on this with the emphasis many DO colleges place on providing for the underserved, both regionally and globally.
Also, not sure if this should go in the subspecialties section, but I figured I'd have better luck here given the radicalness of DO nerds...
