time for a quick reading comprehension check??

check dr. kicia's post, it said, even if she made a 45 ... she'd choose DO or MD ... BECAUSE manipulation=fascinating ... wtf?

I am pretty sure that 99% of the ppl who post on the pre-osteo forum (INCLUDING YOU) would go MD over DO if you had a 45 and a good GPA ... I am pretty sure OMM would be a for-sure after-thought once you got into that sweet top-tier allo med school ... dont be so naive as to think you and the others on here would still go for DO (BECAUSE OF THE OMM) if given that chance to go to a top-tier MD with those sweet stats. your post was quite frankly the dumbest post ever, even trolls apparently have some sort of purpose behind their posts, and often are hilarious in their intent, too.

Last time I checked OMM vs. no OMM was a concrete difference.
 
I want a DO and this is what my mind is set for..... as crazy is this may sound to you.

Anywayyyyyyys, back to the OP's question. I do know that Howard and also Meharry have had accredidation problems. One reason was that a higher then average number of disciplinary actions have been given to their graduates.

but thank you:rolleyes: i am mentally perfectly healthy...
i have no idea why somebody's willingness to learn OMM and become a DO would be a sign of psychozis:eek:
i hope you had fun calling me schizophrenic.

Are you ****ing serious?

2-3 hours per week is a drop in the bucket. You're going to spend more time eating lunch over the course of a business week than you ever spend on OMM.

If you spend those well, OMM can be a very important part of your medical training... If you just want to pass, then it's not much time at all in a relative sense.

the ONLY difference between DO and MD is the OMM ... are you honestly gonna tell me that MD schools dont teach their students to be nice to their patients and look at the patient holistically? MD schools being cut-throat is overrated, that only exists at the elite of MD schools ... the average MD school is not as cut-throat as stereotyped.

anything you learn in school is gonna be useful or a waste, depending on what you make of the knowledge you attain ...

OMM is still the only difference between MD and DO schools during the basic sciences years. The 3rd and 4th year clinicals are also different to the extent that DO schools emphasize PC while MD schools involve a great deal of exposure time to the various specialties ...

Our chemistry teacher in high school taught us how to make the propellant they use to launch the space shuttle. We put this knowledge to good use in our earth science class when we built rockets. :laugh:

better watch out, she's a smart cookie, could have been an MS-1 at an MD school ... :idea:

and the fact that you rejected the opportunity to be an MS-1 at an MD school to take more time in school to be a DO ... is .. amazing. :love:

acctually it would take me 6 years to get MD in Poland (they have a different program where you enter right out of hs).
And i am smart enough to figre when you are sarcastic, even if you try to use non sarcastic smileys:laugh: (<----not a sarcastic smiley LOL...i love that...doctormom will come here any time and will laugh about the non-sarcastic smiley:laugh: )

ok well when you can match a 13 in VR then you can use that attack ;)

And Grey's was annoying... was that supposed to be symbolism??

you would have to look into each residency forum and search the DO match threads. A hospital could have DOs in their primary care, anesthesiology, and other programs but their other programs have a reputation for not interivewing DOs.

It could easily be that they get few DO applications each year because of this stigma and creates a self perpetuating cycle.

For a very competitive residency DOs do match into radiology quite well compared to the other competitive residencies.

There are DO derm programs. And I think about 2-5 DOs match into MD Derm programs each year.

Thanks, I wasn't sure where I could such information. Correct me if I am wrong, but though I have repeatedly heard people say "go M.D. over D.O. if you want to specialize" (say again, something competitive such as Derm.), I am inclined to believe that my odds may actually be better by going D.O. and having the opportunity to sit for both boards, and possibly land, say, an exclusively D.O. Derm. Residency. What do you think?

go for dual-accredited. best of both worlds, not competing with the MDs ...

It's negligible almost... Derm is just as competitive in the osteopathic match for fewer spots...

But I'd say all in all, it does give you more spots to choose from. Either way you're going to need top marks and board scores to match derm unless it's in ohio (i kid)

I think if you're into derm, NSU is a good school to go to, they have a few derm positions in their grad program.

I might have applied there if I'd known that... there was some small piece of admissions criteria that I didn't have fulfilled though, maybe it was a letter from a D.O., anyway, I'm inclined to stay in NY at this point. At any rate, competition doesn't bother me; lack of opportunity does.

If derm is what you want, bust your ass in your first two years and kill the boards then impress them on your clinical rotations..

As one of our assistant tennis coaches used to say as he made us do drills, "it's as simple as that."

which, unfortunately, was never that simple.
