I'm wondering if there is really a difference between MD and DO programs in modern times as far as being holistically focused. Anyone with personal experience or knowledge have any thoughts? I'm sure that this may depend on the specific school one attends. At the moment I'm interested in Attending UCSF, as they seem to embrace the best of both worlds approach. I'm skeptical that I would need to attend a DO program, just to have some training in treating root causes of disease and the whole person. I'm sure there are some MD programs that are not as "integrated" as others, but in general it seems that there are many MD programs which are more than willing to embrace natural approaches such as lifestyle change that actually has some scientific validity to it, such as Dr. Dean Ornish's work.
Not that I doubt OMM may work in some scenarios, but its not something I really care to have 200 hours of training in, and if this is really the only major difference as far as the education is concerned, I think I'd much rather attend a good MD program. Any thoughts will be much appreciated.
