Is ob/gyn a DO friendly specialty?

I eventually want to become an abortion provider, how likely is that with a DO degree?

Considering that the mission of many DO schools is to produce primary care providers, and Ob/Gyn is considered a primary care specialty, I would say that it's fairly attainable. Look at school match lists to see percentages of specialty placement.

Quite likely. OB/Gyn is DO friendly.

Oh, I didn't realize that ob/gyn was considered primary care. Thanks!

My OBGYN is a DO! I appreciate her more than my past MD ones

It's very DO friendly.. several of the students I've talked to on my interviews at DO schools want to go OB/GYN. I actually shadowed a DO OB/GYN also and its actually one of the fields of medicine where OMM really is applicable.
