As part of our curriculum we have week long clinical integrations between the various systems. Our last one was specifically on spirituality in medicine.

Try adding "osteopathic concepts" and mannipulative medicine to the pain in the ass classes ya'll have already mentioned.

Take a guess what I think of my school...

Is the new resident on ER a D.O.?

Little Jimmy you are a good egg. However, you are wrong on a few accounts. First, if you had really done your homework you would know that D.O.'s are trained to ask just the question you said they don't (when it is appropriate). Secondly, manip. has come a long way, but has a longer road to...

Is it worth it for you?

If you are seriously asking if a Carribean med school is better than a D.O. school you shouldn't even think about going to a D.O. school.

In response to the questions about my response to the original post: 1.I believe that there should only be Osteopathic residencies in fields that can utilize OMM,not that D.O.s should only be able to do those residencies and no others. Clear now? 2. I did not attend the conference in Cali. *If...

Based on what I have heard from M.D.'s and D.O.'s, the vast majority of patients don't ask about their physician's eductional background.

The designation D.O. may have been accurate before osteopathy was assimilated into mainstream medicine, but it is not vaild today. We, in effect, are nothing more than M.D.s with another approach to treating patients (plus...

The difference is only in name. Outside of an osteopathic academic environment the differences just don't exist to the extent we are lead to believe.

Are there any people out there who know anything about how to get into a good oncology residency??? Are there any D.O. connections we can use as osteopathic students?

My points have been completely missed. I am a proud to be an osteopathic student. I am proud to be a student at TCOM.

For the last six months I have been watching the osteopathic community very closely, only to be disappointed with what is being done to advance the profession. So far there has been one reoccuring theme: Keep OMM alive. THIS IS NOT ENOUGH. We are at a wonderful position to apply our philosophy...

why not go to an osteopathic school instead???
