What is this "internship" that D.O's have to do right after med school before getting into their residencies? Is it all omm? I thought They have to take omm alongside their other classes. Wont this extra year of an internship put you a year behind allopaths because dont they get into their residencies right after med school....right?
 
settle down, that is just your first year of residency. It may be geared a bit different in a do residency, but it is still just your forst year.
 
In other words this is not an additional year so no worries. 😛
