Ok all you DO medical students. What was your biggest influence when deciding to go osteopathic versus allopathic? Do you really believe in the manipulative therapy? I am a little indifferent and need a little input. Please reply.

1) Had prior experiences with DO's and liked them.
2) Had prior experiences with manipulative therapy following a motor vehicle accident and found it helpful.
3) Applied specifically to DO/MPH and MD/MPH programs and cared less about the degree per se than the overall educational experience and quality.
Currently attending UNTHSC/TCOM and am very pleased with my decision.

I chose D.O. because of some very good role models and it's phylosophy. It was first choice. I did not apply to M.D. programs.
I was not very interested in manipulation. Now the manipulation part is one of my favourite courses. I saw it work. Your patients will rather get some manipulation than costly and invasive procedures.

Heather:
1) I liked the philosophy (but don't believe for a minute it's limited to DOs only)
2) I liked the DO's I met and worked with; they just seemed to enjoy their work a bit more at the time than some of the MD's I worked with did.
3) I was impressed with the schools I interviewed at; most of the DO schools were more focused on teaching undergraduate medical students.
3) Until you've K-crunched, you haven't lived.
good luck
