Good afternoon everybody!

I currently have a couple LORs, however they are both from MDs and not DOs. I do however, have experience working with and around DOs. Do any of you happen to know which DO schools do not require a LOR from a DO? I plan on applying to TCOM and I do not believe that they require one but I would like to send out about 7 DO apps and would like to know which dont require the DO LOR. Thanks in advance everybody, have a great day.

I think that list is outdated. I just went through the DO CIB for 2012 and came up with LECOM, OSU-COM, UP-KYCOM, VCOM, and WVSOM (The ones that require a DO letter)

TCOM doesn't require one. TCOM allows you to send an MD or DO letter with your secondary, so I recommend you attach other non-physician letters to your TMDSAS

So are you try to list the ones that require a D.O. letter?? If so, your list does not differ from the spreadsheet except for removing RVU. LMU-DCOM doesn't require a D.O. letter (http://www.lmunet.edu/DCOM/admissions/letters.shtml)

Yes. The spreadsheet shows LMU and RVU requiring a DO letter

RVU requires a letter from a physician - can be MD or DO with preference given to a DO letter. They used to require a DO letter, but changed it about 2 years ago to also accept letters from MDs.
