DO programs are not known for their research, so they do not do as well in the Med School Research Ranking.

This list is titled "2023-2024 Best Medical Schools: Primary Care". Therefore, the lower the rank of the school the better if you're considering specializing.

I'm surprised UNT is the highest on the list, you would think that it being one if not the best DO schools its students would be more inclined to specialize

Just want to point out that this isn't really accurate - many of the schools listed are state funded and have residency programs in a variety of specialties. OkState, OU, MSU, and Rowan are all examples of this and they usually provide students with a greater amount of accessibility to research and networking with residencies that they are associated with.

Not sure how accurate this is. My school publishes an X% of people going into primary care every year. The problem is that all IM folks are considered in that percentage. But anecdotally I know that at least half the people going into IM from my school are planning to specialize afterwards.
