Most schools are the same (MD/DO): year each for g-chem, o-chem, biology, and physics. You need to check with the individual school or additional requirements like behavioral sciences, genetics, biochem, ect…
 
i know some DO programs require biochem in addition to ochem, but i'm not sure about all the MD programs. both programs are pretty much the same though.
