As someone who is trying to decide between going to an MD school and a DO school I am flabbergasted at the apparent blatant discriminatory practices by top residency programs and specialties. I would think in this very progressive age where we are trying to liberate all from discrimination the institution of medicine would not still have these discriminatory practices.
DO's are taught the exact same curriculum as MD's, they are exactly as qualified and when DO's score equivalent or better than their MD's counterpart there is no logical reason to weigh their merit less because of being educated at a DO school. DO's should be judged on their merits not their degree, especially since they come from U.S. institutions.
How do we end these practices? How do we make the medical community and powers that be aware so that change can be brought? Let MD's and DO's band together to end this!
