My interview questions were geared towards making sure I understood that osteopathy is different than an allopathic education, but not specifically scientific. They wanted to know my hobbies, what I do to relieve stress, a little about my research, and why as a scientific person did I chose a path that has many less finite answers.
 
thanks guys- I can bs about my perspectives, just nervous about the hard facts of osteo medicine that I may need to know

great idea-I am going to shadow once or twice in the next few weeks!

😕 That bothers me.

Sorry, in re-reading my post it came across wrong. I meant that as a DO you won't be any less qualified as a physician, but it's a more undeveloped field, so there are less finite answers to some of the medicine. That kind of perspective in always for everyone.
 
right, but I thought that meant that a doctor actually said that some things are not evidence-based. I am a scientist, i conduct research, I need my medicine to be evidence-based. I have read some OMM articles and I can see evidence. I just got confused, thats all.
 
Where are all of you recent interviewees, eh??

I got an invite on Monday. My day is Nov. 30. I'm looking foward to it, and the lobster I plan on eating when I go there. Any reccomendations on where to eat lobster around the school?

Incidentally, I got a DMU interview today, also for Nov. 30. I asked to move it because I think I would rather be in Maine than Iowa.

I had some lobster at great place called Wormwood's in south Saco, right across the river from UNE
 
I hear Buffleheads (just down the road from UNE) is good for lobster. i must admit i haven't had lobster at a restaurant since before school started. During the tourist season there are a whole lot of places that are near the ocean (one on Cape Elizabeth is rather famous and right on the cliff overlooking the ocean. Lovely). As i'm now on a student's budget, we're eating plenty of mussels cooked at home with an occassional lobster steamed at home too. BTW: lobster gets pretty inexpensive during the off-tourist season. i think the last price I saw in the grocery store was around $8.50/lb, which makes cooking them at home quite reasonable (though most stores will steam for free -- i just find they slightly overcook them for my taste).

Sounds like i'll have to try Wormwood's some time. jeez.. i live here and i don't know many restaurants. that's sad.
