Re: Awein MBA
grrr… the reason why some universities don’t offer DO is becaue its fairly new program. Next 10 yrs from now… i’ll ask you which universities offer it or don’t. Adding a single position to a program requires a lot of work and research let alone a whole another program…
and DOs are basically the same thing as MD.. they just believe in curing/treating patients in a differnet way..
here is a bit of wiki info for you:
Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O. or DO) is a four-year graduate-level academic degree for physicians and surgeons in the United States. Holders of the D.O. degree are known as osteopathic physicians. D.O.s are trained much in the same way as M.D.s, with the addition of osteopathic manipulative medicine techniques.
To obtain a license to practice medicine in the United States, medical students must pass one of two licensing boards: USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Exam) or COMLEX (Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Exam). MDs and DOs are both eligible to sit for the USMLE. Only DOs are eligible to sit for the COMLEX.
