I've been shadowing D.O. and I have the stats to get into M.D. school. is this a disadvantage to M.D. schools?

Shouldn't be. As long as he trained at an ACGME residency and isn't performing OMM you should be fine.
mclinkin94: Please disregard drama's highly inflammatory post.
The fact of the matter is, M.D. or D.O., you're shadowing a physician and those shadowing hours will count. It would also be wise to shadow different specialties.
Um. It's true that both are physicians, and MDs and DOs are pretty much indistinguishable in practice in most cases. Still, there are differences in philosophy that can show up, and there are DOs who use OMM. It's kinda like you need a DO letter for many DO schools. An MD school may question shadowing only a DO. Not because they think DOs are inferior. It's because they may question how well you understand what an MD might do compared to a DO.
Calm down buddy.
OP, I reiterate my previous post: shadow an MD too. Shadowing multiple docs is good whether they are MD or DO (and you also wouldn't have to worry about this issue either).

I never said the OP should only shadow a D.O. 😴
I'd also appreciate it if you refrained from the condescending "calm down" statements when I myself never indicated I was "raging" or "angry." 😴
