Dear Admissions Consultant Staff…
I am contemplating greatly between an MD and DO degree.
I’ve posted my question on another thread regarding my credentials, and “thymol blue” made a solid point.
I am not quite sure if I should just pursue the path as a DO, or re-take the MCAT and go for a MD degree.
I’ve heard many claims that DO’s are in the second-tier for residencies. Because I plan to specialize and not go into primary care, this brings up many uncertainies and concerns.
I realize that DO is a minority group, but equivalent to a MD degree.
However, I am also aware that MD is the mainstream medicine at this time. Especially, after reading the post made by “cerebral” (4th year DO student) I wanted to get your feedback based upon your experience in the medical industry.
Also, I wanted to convey my sincere gratitude for all your replies on this web site. Your valuable comments are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Best regards,
Doctor2be
