Osteopathy Schools Trying to Mimc Allopathy Schools

[allenn]

Times have changed! The once novel fundamental concepts of osteopaty have deteriorated over the years. Number oriented Osteopathy schools who are primarily concerned with their students performing well on the COMPLEX exams, are failing to adequately teach OMT to their students. This sad state affairs has created an environment in which osteopathy school have developed an image of being nothing but a "2 nd rate" medical school for students who did not peform well on the MCATS. Now, all a student needs to do is memorize a pamphlet on OMT and as long as their GPA/MCAT are good they are accepted. SHAME ON YOU Adcoms! who undermine your roots and the very basis of your existence.

How many times must I see posts of how just because your stats are low you should apply to Osteopathy School! How many times do people use osteopathy as their back up plan! How many times must md applicants post demeaning thread towards DO's!

THIS CAN END!

HERE IS HOW!

D.O. is a philoshopy that must be practiced by people who truly believe in the methods! If one is to have a complex of always being second rate.. he/she will perform as such!

Instead of just assuming that D.O is concerned with family medicine, the methods of OMT must have research to back it up. Osteopathic community must truly begin an effort to fund research that can reveal the benefits of OMT.
