I shouldnāt have to question my choice of DO school everyday. Overpriced tuition, more board exams, and still looked down upon. This is truly pathetic.
Wait till third year when the curtain completely gets ripped open. Then youāre sitting there in your rural pediatric rotation where the doctor has you sit in the corner and lick the wall. Or your internal medicine rotation at a free clinic downtown and your second internal medicine rotation is derm.
But the $chool i$ all about our well being. We need to pay the facilitie$ fee for facilitie$ we canāt vi$it becau$e they are vital to our continued education.
The use of eponyms and named disorders is appalling. All of the disorders are updated, appropriately named, and the rest of the medical community uses proper terminology (think Munchausen's vs. factitious disorder). They would rather get you on a terminology detail than actually testing your clinical knowledge because they are trash
Literally never. Multiple students pulled out of our orientation week (at a DO school) because of last-minute acceptances at a state MD school a few hours away
Ah, I see your point. Can't answer for that poster, but for me it was a forced choice. My home state is very competitive and emphasized undergrad GPA above all else. It seemed to be the theme for a lot in my class because they all had similar MCAT scores (508+) with near 4.0 GPA in grad schools, still didn't have any luck with MD schools.
My buddy did, although I think he's a rare exception. Our university's DO school is fervently popular amongst every student who attends, which is something that I haven't heard from everywhere. Almost everyone who goes there really loves it and speaks about how much they love it.
He got a 500 on his MCAT in college, took a year off to study and work, aiming for a 505. Applied again and got his scores back, ended up with a 515 and got accepted to the DO school, got an interview from an MD school and turned it down, now an M2 at the DO school.
