Touro has their secondary online and you just type into the HTML and print it off the screen.

Both AZCOM and CCOM ask the same basic question: "Why do you want to be an osteopathic physician and why do you want to attend AZCOM/CCOM?

Nova's essay is: "Why do you want to become an osteopathic physician?"

UHS is pretty open ended.

Kirksville is similiar to Nova's.

Basically, if you have about a one page essay prepared on why you want to be an osteopathic physician, you can adapt it to fit most of the DO school's secondary requirements.

I only put one sentence about osteopathy in my AACOMAS statement. In fact, I used the exact same statement from my AMCAS app. I figured that I could talk about osteopathy in my secondaries, and give more info about myself in the primary app.

yeah, i'm not sure what to do either. i spent 85% of my personal statement explaining why i want to be an osteopathic doc. i know i cant just copy my personal statement. should i just say the exact same thing except use different words? or do i need to make up new reasons??? any more advice would be great!

Ohio University:

"Indicate why you wish to become an osteopathic physician. Why you wish to attend the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine, and any additional information you feel the college should know about you."
