Hey everyone! I am from Northern California and would love to stay in the area. I have been fortunate enough to have interviewed all over the US for several DO schools and loved what these schools had to offer.
That being said, I have been accepted to two schools in NorCal - Touro and Northstate. I didn’t think I would ever be accepted to an MD school, but now that I am, I have to make a decision.
I would like some input as to which educational route you think I should take. With the upcoming merger, I don’t know if DO students are going to suffer in residency placement. And I know people push for MD over DO. Both schools have incredibly high tuition, so I’m not considering cost in this decision. Hearing your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated (rotation site quality, prestige, opportunities for students, better education, etc.)
Thank you!
