Hi
I was just wondering what you guys think are the major diffrences of MDs and DOs? Would any of you consider DO school? Its known that DOs are less recognized as physicians, but indeed I think MD or DO you are still a physician. DOs anatomy course is more extensive than MD's plus they also learn body maipulation, almost like a chiropractor, so thats an extra thing they learn, but they are still seen lower than MDs for some people. I just want to know what is your opinion on this and if you would ever consider DO school? Personally I think a lot of premeds prefer allopathic medicine just because its more prestigious than DOs. Just imagine of these was the other way around, what if DO school was more prestigious than MD school> Do you think there would be more DO applicants? or would it be the same as now?
