This worked well for me: http://www.osteopathic.org/YOM/Mentor_main.htm. Don't filter when you search or you won't get enough info.

What also worked: searching the physician pages of local hospitals looking for DO's, then sending a letter with a picture.

Now people are going to beat on you for not doing a search. This is a question that is asked here about once a week, fyi.

first off, never understimate the search function.

secondly, this is how i found the DOs I have shadowed...

http://www.osteopathic.org/directory.cfm

the mentor thing posted aboe works well too. i tried that and got a fast turn around time. although ive heard people complain that they were never contacted by the physicain "mentor".

Yes, I would try the FAQ at the top of the page, where you can learn the answers to many questions. Also, you might try the search function where you will find the same question hundreds of times. I took the liberty of doing that myself. You might try some of these:
