Is there anything wrong with being apathetic towards "osteopathy"?
I am a hopsital cytotechnologist (busy Ivy League institution, lots of cools cases) and hope to begin medical school in 2014. I am shadowing MD's and DO's of various specialties as much as possible since pathology is my current interest based on my current career. Please don't lecture me on keeping my options open...I know...I will.
I will apply to both MD and DO schools. I'm not going to sugar coat anything just flat out say that if I had a choice between Harvard and any DO school....I'd pick Harvard.
Is there anything "wrong" with going to a DO school because it's the only place you got accepted to and don't really care (at least too much) about the letters DO after your name? I haven't officially studied OMM so I can't judge it. I don't buy the whole holistic philosophy being unique to DO's thing...it's not.
So, if I end up at a DO schools and don't have any sort of "DO pride" and just remain apathetic towards "osteopathy"....is there really anything wrong with that.
Some people come a family of DO's and are just so "proud" to be DO. I don't get it.
