This might be a naive question, but important to me nonetheless...are there any limitations to the states that DO's can practice in and to what extent they can practice (specialty and techniques)? Also, are there any limitations to matching in Allopathic residency programs when comparing to MD's? Any advice would be great!👍

No.

Ongoing debate. Certain institutions seem to have a lack of DOs in their programs...often the more competitive IVY league programs.

Any advice would be great!👍

Do well in school.
