I could use your help (osteopathy v. allopathy)

[Justin11]

Hey everyone, I'm doing an undergraduate presentation comparing and contrasting osteopathic and allopathic medicine for a Health Counseling class. I would appreciate any information you could give me, especially since I will be applying to medical schools in the near future. Thank you for your time!

Go to www.aacom.org/om.html That and the links should give you a nice breakdown of the difference.

Here is one MD's very negative take on osteopathy. http://www.quackwatch.com/04ConsumerEducation/QA/osteo.html

I appreciate your comments so far. Personally, I think Dr. Barrett's comments are a little biased, being that he's an MD and not a DO. I'm trying to get the most objective standpoint. Has anyone practiced with a DO? Or studied with one? I'd be interested in knowing what you think. Thanks.
