JPINFV Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 So far all of those are Osteopathic (DO schools) and I'm currently planning on specializing in EM with a fellowship in EMS (of course MS3-MS4 years (clinical rotations) may change that).

Well recall that DR. Bledsoe is a DO and he seems to turn out OK. :wink: Actually best DR I ever had was a DO. Hey have you applied in Texas? Hope you the best. Keep us updated.

JPINFV Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Well recall that DR. Bledsoe is a DO and he seems to turn out OK. :wink: Yea, for all intents and purposes DO and MD are essentially the same. Both are 4 year education programs with 2 years of sciences and 2 years of clinical rotations. Graduates from both philosophies go to medical residences with DOs having the option of applying to MD residencies. Both have unrestricted medical licenses. I'm actually willing to bet that a large amount of DO patients (especially patients of specialist DOs) don't even know that they're being treated by a DO.

Richard B the EMT Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 If you're coming through JFK or LaGuardia in New York City, I might be able to swing some time off to visit with you. Just give me enough notification time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p3medic Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Look up to Maine since you are already in the area. One of my old partners graduated from their DO program a while back, He's an EM attending out at UMass now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
