Well, look back at this year (which started May 2002 with the AACOMAS) - it's been a LONG stressful year.
However, I seem to have forgotten how I first learned about osteopathic medicine. I'm not sure if it was some website, or talking to a doctor, or a premed advisor. I just don't remember where (and when) I first learned that osteopathic medicine is a seperate yet equal branch of medicine in the United States.
Anyway, now I throw the question to you guys. Where and when did I learn about osteopathic medicne?
hehe, j/k
So, where and when did YOU learn about osteopathic medicine? What made you decide to apply?
All answers are acceptable, including "backup to MD schools", "I didn't get into MD schools 2X and this is my 3rd time", "I'm really into the philosophy" OR "What the heck is osteopathic medicine? You mean PCOM is not a regular medical school?" What I'm looking for here is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Thus, we will be kind when you say "BACKUP SCHOOL" because in all honesty - there are people who apply DO as backup.
Anyway, where and when did you learn about osteopathic medicine?
And what made you finally decide to apply DO instead of / in addition to mainstream allopathic medicine?
