I just recently learned about the DO degree.. I think its kinda cool especially since it is equivalent to the MD degree. I like to the whole holistic approach to heath care, but I don't mind the MD either..However sometimes when I associate with MDs either it being that I was a patient or just casually talking about something I usually get the feeling that most MD's are more of solving the symptoms and really dont invest on their patients...I haven't had any experience with DOs but I'm assuming they will be more patient and treat the patient as a whole et cetera et cetera.
Now with that said, I was wondering what all the debate was about ppl ditching a DO acceptance and doing an SMP instead. I read that DOs can take the Match or what ever its called, in order to apply to residency programs like the MDs..so if both degrees are one, and can end up in thesame route and results, why all the debates?
Please shed some light on this topic...
