an osteopathic school or a school in the Caribbean? It was beautiful when I went there.
I want to be a surgeon someday, preferably specialized in cardio-thoracic or neurosurgery, and am not sure about the path to take. Everything I've read about osteopathic medicine makes it sound better than allopathic, but I heard DOs are looked down on. I'm not really in the medical world (as I'm the ONLY pre-med physics major at my school),and don't know much about it. I am not around many pre-med students or teachers due to being a physics major. I'm applying to medical schools next year. I have a high GPA and a high MCAT, so should not have trouble getting into an allopathic school.
The way everywhere makes it sound is osteopathic = allopathic + kindness, but I'm sure allopathic must have more benefits due to being not looked down on. Can someone explain this to me, as I know nothing about the subject? Can someone also tell me how I check out medical school's programs for how classes are given (like 1 class straight for 8 weeks, lectures taped and also shown on a computer, etc.)?
