How much does MD vs. DO matter for FM?

[SilentAnon_404]

So I was wondering for someone interested in FM, is there any extra advantages of going to an MD school over a DO?
Ofcourse I plan on applying for both and picking the best option I get accepted to.

No difference

There may be regional differences or differences at particular programs, but no easily generalized differences.

No difference but keep in mind many med students change their preferred specialties

Pretty much no difference. Places who have never matched a DO might be harder to match. Check that out before applying.

Can't think of any. Can't find any from AAFP or similar professional organizations.
