Hi there!

Of the Airmen, Sailors, and Soldiers in the osteopathic community; why and what made you chose it? Did you do the 4 years or the 2? What specialities are you aiming for? What you recommend?

The simple reality is DO schools are more expensive than MD schools (on average) because they're almost all private, therefore more of us seek out scholarships. Osteopathy really has no bearing for most of us.
 
Military paying for the tuition may be the only way these students can realistically pay for private Schools moving forward lol. It’s getting too expensive.
