Osteopathic better than Allopathic?

Members do not see this ad.

I was talking to a friend and he stated that it is common knowledge that Osteopathic programs are easy to get accepted into and not as prestegious as Allopathic programs. His quote was that it is definitely the 'lesser of the two programs'. However in the Osteopathic forum they state that DO's can do more than MD's and that all MD residencies are open to DO's, but there are some residencies that are open to DO's but not to MD's.

Anyone hear anything like that? Thoughts?

Um, these MD vs DO threads always rapidly deteriorate and thus will be rapidly locked. Just let those on each board be happy with their decisions for reasons that needn't be aired or compared.

Can we get the Mod to close this thread.

The OP started a parallel thread in the osteo board so at least he is an equal opportunity offender.🙂

Starting threads to cause arguments in various forums is the definition of trolling. Closing
