hello everyone,
Just a few questions about the osteopathic life.
1) Do most DOs work with only DOs in group practice? Do most MDs work with only MDs in group practice? Also, how difficult is it to find a DO group practice thats hiring (in a nonrural area)?
2) I know its difficult EXTREMELY (ie almost shut out) to do get a residency in several specialties...how difficult is it to get SOME/ANY/EASIER (ie ob/gyn, general?) type of surgical specialty? I know ortho/opth/neuro are literally out of my field (or galaxy). What would be really useful would be a GENERAL ranking of the competitiveness of the surgical specialties (i realize many will be the same rank which is fine).
3) Whether youre a surgeon/primary care phys, how difficult is it to work in an urban/subruban (NOT rural) area? If there is a difference in difficulty b/t a surgeon and pcp, please specify.
Thanks everyone.
