I’m an MD: MD being better than DO is a load BS probably propagated by MDs with an inferiority complex. Matter of fact is there are both excellent and crappy MDs and DOs. What we learn in med school and even residency/fellowship is not enough to make us great doctors. It’s what we do throughout the rest of our careers that matters - self directed, self motivated continuous learning and improvement.

Are you actually a DO? I am an orthopedic surgeon which is one of the hardest fields to enter as an MD graduate. As an MD, getting into an MD medical is unbelievably difficult as anyone in medicine knows. I was on my OB rotation when one one of the DO students took me aside and said regardless of what anyone tells you 99% of us applied to MD school and did not get in. There is also the uncomfortable truth that if they were not white or Asian they could have entered an MD school. Not being an underrepresented minority actually works against you. MDs are the cream of our medical system. If you go to any major University Hospital in America, those are all institutions that have a medical school that grant an MD degree, and you will have an unbelievably high chance of being seen by an MD. MD institutions select only the best applicants with the highest grades, MCAT scores, and everything being equal, as I've met in my colleagues, Olympic gold medalists, and a Navy SEAL. The best of the best. That is how they became an MD. The best residency training programs for doctors in America take first, United States MD graduates who have graduated at the top of their MD classes called 'AOA' or Alpha Omega Alpha. . The top residency training programs and hospitals as this video doctor says, in America, are MD programs at MD medical schools. If you look at any list of top hospitals in America, they are all MD or allopathic training hospitals with medical schools which grant an MD . This Hasan Minaj joker, as an Indian or Pakistani, probably knows some people who were interested in medicine and found this out for him, and he made it into a cheap joke. All the Ivy League hospitals and medical schools are MD institutions. Sorry about the facts.

Your academic capability is not always a reflection of your competency as an actual doctor. Plus, a lot of people who are premed can easily “grade hack” and get easier degrees that would get them into medical school. Whereas people who choose more difficult degrees could end up with lower GPAs and as a result have a more difficult time getting into med school.

Maybe they chose the BS/DO route because of security and stress. People who get into these sort of programs are pretty damn smart. So the generalization is true in most cases it isn't always true.

Being a doctor isn't just about knowing everything you learned in med school but the application of that is much much more important.

I’m an ER attending. I went to an osteopathic medical school. I took both COMLEX and USMLE. I took the ABEM (MD) licensing board instead of the AOBEM boards for Emergency Medicine. My partners are both MDs and DOs and I respect all of them. Truth of the matter is that when you make it through the same residency programs and pass the same licensing boards, very few people actually care about the two letters after your name. All they care about your competency and the care that you deliver. I’m pretty sure that during my last shift, the patient in hypoxic respiratory failure could care less about whether I’m an MD or DO and was much happier that was able to keep them alive and off the vent. That’s what people actually care about. All the other stuff is pretty irrelevant. I have tremendous respect for all my colleagues and in the real world, when you become an attending and interact with your partners and consultants in the hospital, the respect is reciprocated by your ability to communicate with your colleagues and the patient care that you deliver. There really is no MD/DO “beef”.

As a current DO student, it is quite disheartening to see people go on national television and attempt to discredit a profession they know nothing about. All the disadvantages of being a DO, while true, are the burden of the medical student themselves, and not the patient. Once these are overcome in school and the DO student gets into a residency, there is LITERALLY no difference whatsoever in patient care. This is where the patients become involved with this controversy. When patients get in their heads that their doctor is less qualified because they are a DO, it automatically ruins the patient-physician relationship. Jerks like this guy going on Fallon and shitting on the DO profession are just toxic to medicine as a whole and it just makes me sad as someone who has worked extremely hard to get into medical school just to have someone talk down to my life’s work.

Comparing a candidate based upon if their title is a MD/DO is a type bias that is founded in some of the hierarchies that is rather pervasive to medicine as a whole. For example, the average MCAT score for, say, University of Louisville MD is a 507. For Midwestern Chicago college of osteopathic medicine? 510. The average MCAT for Central Michigan MD program? 508. For Des Moine College of Osteopathic medicine? 509. If we simply compare a candidate based upon a MD/DO title, then what are we really evaluating? Nothing other than our own bias. It is absurd to compare in this way because the "average" MCAT score is highly variable on the institution and the program. For this reason, it is far superior to evaluate the student, not the degree. Moreover, the MCAT is a test that can be beat. I find it comical when I hear the story of the student who studied 3 years because they never felt ready to the student who studied 2 months right out of college. One got a 512 (three years studying) and the other got a 505. Are these scores actually comparable? Absolutely not. The one with a 512 went MD and the one with a 505 went D.O. To evaluate in this way is a bias that's damaging to medicine as a whole and far to simplistic to be an accurate indicator of fit for a specialty.

Exactly! I applied this cycle and was accepted into the Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine(CCOM). It is a great school and has great match results. As you said, It’s average MCAT is on par with other allopathic schools such as Loyola, OUWB, and Drexel. Even those schools that have an average MCAT slightly higher have lower GPA requirements that CCOM. I know I will have to work hard to match into a competitive residency but I don’t think it will be more challenging than an allopathic program. Based off CCOM’s match history and comparing it with allopathic schools, I do not really see a difference. I think that lower tier DO schools skew the data a lot for the stats required to get into a DO program. Lower tier DO schools accept students with MCATs as low as 502.

I ended up in love with the field of physical medicine & rehabilitation and did the USMLE. Ironically, the more structurally based emphasis of my osteopathic medical training served me very well. Always mindful of how structure governs function and how derangements in those functions are treated by effecting structural change. I found myself accepted at a number of stellar programs in New York City and nationally. I was accepted at my first choice, NYU-School of Medicine/Langone, and never regretted it. By the time I was Chief Resident, at least 1/3 of the residents were DOs. My professors and mentors were the authors of the very textbooks we were studying, and I can honestly say, the topic of my medical degree was never mentioned once. The caveat was that if you wanted respect, you earn it through dedication, hard-work, and a commitment to excellent patient care. Does having a DO degree matter? Only if you think it does.

I applied to MD and DO and didn't care where I went. Because I applied late in the cycle, I had the choice of DO or wait another year. I chose DO, fell in love with OMM, and got my first choice for residency. Word spread through the community about my OMM skills and now I have more patients than I can handle. While I agree that a DO getting into plastics is rare, there are thousands of amazing jobs in other specialties that desperately need to be filled. The only thing an employer cares about is whether or not I have board certification and a license to practice medicine and surgery. Outside of the premed world, the only time an MD has cared that I am a DO is because they had neck or back pain they hoped I could fix. Many of us DO's are also faculty at the local MD school. No one fears that we are corrupting young MD minds with the teachings of AT Still.

As a DO FP the past 23 years I thought your presentation was pretty good. There is a bit of history that was left out concerning how the allopathic physicians have in the past, tried to basically run the osteopaths into the ground. This is where a lot of the past animosity between the two originates. The state of California is probably the best example. It was eventually proven at the California State Supreme Court level that DOs not only received as good of an education as an MD but that the education is superior due to the extra training in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine ( Used to be called OMT) AND ANATOMY. DOs get a few hundred more hours in the anatomy cadaver lab than most MD schools. In the end, the state of California granted licensure back to DOs in the late 1970s that was taken away in the early 1960s. I was actually taught by two of the DOs that took the case to the Supreme Court as were thousands of others. One of them, Viola Fryman, DO was an Osteopath who operated an exclusive Cranial Clinic for something like 60 years. Her patients were mostly children and she had extraordinary results with them and their families for generations. She also trained thousands of DOs in Cranial manipulation including myself. Calling it quackery because of a few biased studies while ignoring the decades of clinical evidence I found a little superficial. As for the grades and GPAs of entering medical students, every medical school be it DO or MD could fill every seat with 4.0 students with crazy MCAT scores without blinking an eye. It’s the interview process that hashes out what the schools are looking for as candidates. I’ll admit I wasn’t the best candidate for either school but as an a former Marine and a mature individual, it was determined that I would become an excellent physician as I can relate to people a lot better than books. I found in my rotations that all the smartest DO and MD residents could really do well on tests and exams but were utter failures in “practical exams” when they had to relate to a model patient encounter. So, it’s not all books and grades that make a good DO or MD , it’s your passion for the profession and how well you can relate and empathize with patients and their families. I’ve loved this profession and have many colleagues and friends on both sides including my brother who is a MD. This issue of which is better never comes up in any conversation. I should mention that I have kept my OMM skillz and practice them daily but selectively. You have to learn not only how to measure out that kind of treatment but also how to bill for it! It’s not hard but I’ve heard many excuses about why a DO doesn’t do it. I’ll also admit that many DOs could care less about OMM because they just wanted to get into medical school and pay the “taxes” that you mentioned. That was pretty funny. I do it just about everyday. It takes years to really get good at it and see the results that you are taught as a student. Many years. All in all, I really enjoyed your video and take on things. I got here watching your 100 mile bike ride video. I’m also a triathlete and plan on doing one of those next month. You’re a very nice young man and I wish you nothing but the best in your career✌🏽

I have to say that when I started with my DO about a year and a half ago, I was VERY pleased. In my close to 65 years of using medical personnel, I have been most pleased with the current DO. You mentioned something in your video about the DO being more patient-oriented. This is probably the very best description you could have given and explains exactly what I have felt and could not put it into those exact words. With the exception of one MD, I have always felt rushed by MD. Although through the years the MDs have gotten somewhat better. I have had PAs more often than anything simply because I did not like the personality of the MD and the feeling they lacked appreciation for my time. Being late to my appointment as much as an hour, and the next time 45 mins. I told this doctor straight out, if you are late to my next appointment I will be changing to a different PCP. Yuppers, he was 1/2 hour late to the next appointment and I immediately switched to the office PA, who was very kind, professional, caring, listened to me and what I had to contribute, etc. I have had a breathing problem since I was in my twenties and it has only gotten worse over the years and even and a pulmonary workup from A to Z, before I moved to where I live now. The pulm. doctor I saw, according to all the reviews I could find was supposed to be very well-known and highly recommended. However, she could not recommend anything pulm. wise that could help me above what I was already doing. She and my PCP (the only MD that I really liked and thought did a really good job) recommended me to cardiology who recommended a cardiac surgeon (who after having him operate on me twice, only to have someone see me for my follow-up appointments and both of my post open heart admissions). Even after having a CABG X 2 and a stint placed 11 months later, surgery to debride all the infection from the wound, which I then spent a week on a wound vac. had to have a pectoral flap rotation done, and ended up in a nursing home). This still did not help relieve my breathing problems. When I started with my current DO he worked with me on my breathing and switched me to a different base inhaler, which the very next day my breathing improved so much I was shocked. I went from having two base inhalers, plus a rescue inhaler, to ONE base inhaler and much less use of my rescue inhaler. He has always been very attentive to what I say and remembers even the little things from one appointment to the next. I would take this put this DO up against any of the MDs I have had in the past. VERY, very happy with his care and have recommended him to everybody I knew who needed a doctor.

Here goes my first time commenting on a KZitem video. Canadian 4th year DO here, I come in peace. If you are a pre-med, your goal should be an American, Canadian in my case, MD unless you are 100% sold on OMM (Like I want to touch bones for a living sold). However, I had a competitive application (Bachelor in Music, GPA 3.8, MCAT 86th percentile) and because of that, I made the mistake of not applying to DO schools in my first round and have been regretting it since. That effort of "making my application more competitive" could've been used in medical school. What you learn in med school is very different and a lot more dependent on your personal abilities to excel. Doing well on Step 2 (which means well above average if you want to do something competitive) can compensate for the US MD preference. More importantly, instead of taking a year before med school, in hopes of getting in the next year, why not do a preliminary residency year in general surgery (which is paid), or a research year at the program you are interested instead. I don't think you should delay medical school, especially as a pre-med just because you like shadowing Neurosurgery. Watching a Neurosurgery procedure is fun but doing an 8 hours spine procedure is gonna make you ask some questions about your interest. A subtlety that this video is missing is the other factors that go into admission. For example, if you are from a place that is less populated, your chances of getting into an MD school there are higher. These places are in need of doctors and they prefer natives because they are more likely to stay and practice there. Once you are in a DO school you come to find out it's a lot fewer grandmother dogs babysitter father-in-law situations than it's implied. However, while any Canadian / US MD is good to go to for a chance of matching competitive specialties, definitely do your research and make sure you are going into a very good DO school. From what I've heard you can go wrong with that. You want to make sure they have associated hospitals, consistent good match rates, and offer extensive research opportunities. You'll also have to take USMLE, most of us DOs do even if we are unsure about the specialty that we want to go to.

Hey Kevin, DO PGY2 here. Thanks for the video! I would say pretty spot on. Just a few comments. Cranial OMM is a lot of voo doo magic, but we have a lot of great techniques that patients love. Many of the techniques are used by physical therapists and other MSK professions and are well accepted. I encourage you to try some treatment (maybe a video idea in the future). I find it funny how we compare how good a physician is based on their medical school. We should compare physicians based on what residency they completed because residency is where we become real doctors. Yes, med school is important, but we all read first aid, pathoma, watched OME, used anki cards, etc. From my experience, it all evens out intern year, regardless of what school you attended. My residency program has people from the Caribbean, osteopathic schools, and top MD schools. You would hardly tell the difference amongst the seniors. It's almost like judging a person on what high school they went to instead of the university or college they attended. The ego in medicine is toxic. I hope you could make a video on this. Everyone on instagram flexes so hard. Everyone fixates on differences and has a superiority complex, not just with DO vs MD. "You went to this low tier US MD school vs name brand school". "You went to this no name ENT residency, vs a name brand program". It goes on and on, and it's sad to see it. It is human nature to compare and put down, but it should not be that way, especially with how important physician well being is nowadays. We should foster a community that builds each other up, and not down. We are all doctors. We all work together. We all help patients.

A lot of the principles we learn about spinal mechanics and scoliosis actually come up at times during surgical planning for spine surgery (e.g relationship between TP and SP in the thoracic spine are the same relationships used when marking out where to make starting point for pedicle screws).

The DO/MD stigma exists in toxic uneducated premed culture and once you are actually in med school or in a hospital it literally doesn’t exist. I train side by side with both and never once has anyone discredited my abilities based on the fact that I’m at an osteopathic medical school nor have I once worried about matching my specialty choice. Attend the med school you think fits with you well and don’t listen to bullshit about DOs being subpar physicians. You’ll have mentorship in whatever specialty you want at both, make the right connections and you can do what ever you want as a DO.

FWIW, you don't -- or at least didn't -- have to study at an osteopathic school to become an OD. A great aunt of mine attended the medical school in (then) Breslau, Germany (now Wroc/law, Poland) and finished classes by 1938, but as a Jew was not allowed to finish her training. She emigrated to the US (this was harder than getting admitted to med school) and found it easier to practice medicine by becoming an OD. So I guess she took the OD equivalent of medical boards then, apparently without further classes. I imagine few graduates of allopathic medical schools today take the AOBEM boards.

Perhaps the DOs will even be disadvantaged due to harsher scrutiny, so if they have a chip on their shoulder, they'll put in the extra effort to succeed. Ultimately, most of the stigma and disadvantages behind DOs is due to their unsuccessful undergrad years. Not everyone has the same convenience and upbringing to be a perfect student from the moment they step foot into college with a mind set on becoming doctors.

Some key points to note about your claim of US DOs and international practice: -The UN-ILO declared in 2016 that USDOs are physicians and surgeons w/ a medical degree and are separate from osteopaths. -France & Barbados are the only countries worldwide who restrict USDO practice. They restricted licensure way before 2016. -Wikipedia has an AOA summary; please understand that the countries u see there r where a DO has applied before. Mongolia, eg, is not there; it doesn’t mean a DO can’t practice there-it means no DO applied to practice medicine in Mongolia. If you want to practice medicine in Mongolia, you simply have to apply just like a USMD. Every country has its process of licensing foreign grads. -Most US residencies are not recognized in 1st world countries (regardless of MD or DO); you may have to retrain regardless of USMD/DO. The DO degree, however, is recognized by every first world country in the world (except France) like Canada, UK, New Zealand, etc. for unrestricted practice of medicine and surgery. Funny thing is, a program coordinator reached out to me on this point she herself has sent surgical residents with DO degrees to France for training. -Most US doctors do not go to the developing world to “practice” medicine; they go on mission trips. 100% of mission trip organizations (DWB, CMDA) accept USDOs as physicians and have arranged for their mission trips. If u want to stay over for long term, by reference, it’s not an issue. Bangladesh, an LDC (Least Developed Country) country where I was born, for example, is not in AOA summary of licensure. However, I am connected to a DO orthopedic surgeon in LinkedIn who goes to Bangladesh every summer to do hip and knee surgery at the arrangement of a health organization. If you think this is anecdotal, no problem. DM me @iamahmednahian on IG or Twitter and I can even give you his details and you even can get info about the organization if you are interested in international service. Now if this DO orthopedic surgeon, or let’s bring current example, the 119 OMS-4s who matched to orthopedic surgery this year (2023) wants to get a license from Bangladesh Medical & Dental Council for private practice after residency, do you think BMDC will deny these US educated, trained, ABOS board certified surgeons ????? As far as Bangladeshi law goes, ABOS certification is hugged and adored by the board. I don’t know how many of the 119 OMS-4s even go down this rabbit hole of “Will I be able to private practice in XYZ country,” but I think it is safe to say that there is light for these DOs down that rabbit hole. -Almost all foreign boards in need list ABMS boards as grounds of acceptance for licensure. So what’s the point of bringing up a degree for international practice when no medical degree means anything in foreign soil; it’s your residency that will determine whether you may or may not practice within the scope that you want to. As an immigrant, personally, I’ve never understood this strike against the DOs. Most countries around the world is not France; getting one physician from anywhere, let alone the USA could mean the world to them. This video definitely is one of my favorites from this channel tho because it goes down the rabbit hole of ego and things as such. It appears that as someone who is doing BS/DO, I haven’t listened to your advise by committing to becoming a DO from high school despite having an acceptance from a BS/MD program 😁. One of my favorite lines from here is that you suggest premeds to not commit to DO programs now because they are not “as established;” you are doing your job, I understand. However, this degree being newer + the rapid changes happening to it was probably one of the biggest reasons I have pursued this degree. There is a lot happening around it. There is a lot we can do to improve our community and institutions, and the change comes from us, the future bearers of this degree. Aside the fact that I celebrate the DO philosophy, we forget that some people like me may want to be in the 10%. I don’t know about the history of DO, but the future of DO is bright.

DO - PCP here Completed allopathic residency in FP 35 years ago - had co-residents from UPENN, Jefferson, and many other MD schools. Didn’t matter which school you attended; came down to your individual skills and commitment as a physician. The video is accurate as a DO you may have to “prove” yourself at times in the MD world but now that the residencies are combined that should improve. For the more “elite” specialties it is easier if you have an MD degree which is unfortunate. No question that DO schools focus more on the primary care fields which is what this country needs now!! Bottom line in practice the difference is indistinguishable- we all are physicians - we speak the same language, we understand disease processes and follow standards of care. Unfortunately it is a human trait to try and elevate oneself over another and the medical profession is no exception, but this is seen even in the MD arena - i.e. an MD degree from an IVY League school vs. MD degree from a state school. Is one truly superior to the other? My advice - whether you are an MD or DO you have been given GOD given skills to serve your fellow man - do it to the best of your ability with sincerity, compassion and diligence recognizing that one day you may be a patient.

Thanks for this. As an inpatient medical educator (Neurologist/MD) at a tertiary community hospital, I work with MD and DO students and residents. Almost universally the DO students are more comfortable approaching patients early on since they working with humans their first year with OMM. I firmly believe that our “system“ should be better about reimbursing OMM in certain conditions. While craniosacral should go, they have other OMM techniques that would save opiate use and unnecessary surgery if we could enlist it early. I think there should be OMM capability in every ED, primary care, ortho clinic, headache clinic and rehab unit/clinic, to complement drugs that we overuse. Unfortunately the time it takes to perform the manipulations doesn’t fit with our volume-based medical model.

A few thoughts as a DO who graduated an allopathic Med Peds residency this month. Overall I would agree that MD students still have generally more opportunities than DO students in many areas. I taught MD students (from the medical school affiliated with my residency) for the past 4 years and have seen this. And yes, quality of rotations can definitely be a drawback to some DO schools. Furthermore, some prestigious residencies still hold antiquated values and won't even consider DO graduates regardless of their resume. That said, most students deciding to attend an osteopathic school reach their desired goal as a DO, so it really just depends on what you career goal / life goals are when deciding to go the MD or DO route. While it's relatively difficult to get into any medical school, GPA and MCAT scores moreso reflect undergraduate work ethic, not one's capabilities as a provider, nor intelligence. While the best opportunities should absolutely go to those who work hard for it, anyone viewing these statistics as an assessment of someone's potential is sorely misguided. One could argue that osteopathic schools having lower matriculating requirements gives many people a chance to prove they can be a great provider if they work hard(er) for it and gives many nontraditional candidates (who often have lower stats from my understanding) a shot at their dream career. Medical school and residency becomes the true test of mettle and application of acquired knowledge, and if you successfully navigate these and pass your boards, no one cares what letters are behind your name or what school you went to (i.e. whether it be stateside, Caribbean, international, etc). The two professions (which are really one in the same) are becoming less delineated every decade that passes, and in my experience, there is no where near as much animosity between MDs and DOs in real world practice. For the most part, it's the opposite: Respect. Few other things: The AOA needs to denounce non-evidence based OMM/OMT such as cranial therapy. Aside from it being an enormous waste of time and money, it hurts the credibility of the osteopathic profession. Conversely, osteopathic manipulative techniques and principles such as those also routinely employed by physical therapists and other rehabilitative services backed by evidence should be promoted. I could probably rehabilitate half the patients I refer to PT myself but ain't nobody got time for that lol. Also, MDs practice just as "holistically" as DOs so any osteopathic physician promoting that BS drank too much AT Still kool aid.

Honestly the difference between DOs and MDs, and the conversations surrounding those differences, are a pre-med/medical school thing. In residency this disappears almost completely. However to get to residency where it doesn't really matter, you have to be ok with being at a slight disadvantage for most specialties, and a big disadvantage for some more competitive residencies. While several people at my school matched into competitive specialties (term, ortho, ent,...), it isn't the norm by any means, so you just gotta be aware and ok with that.

Fun facts to add onto the backstory of Osteopathic Medicine: back when A.T. Still was starting to spread the osteopathic practice (back in the 1800’s) he was physically run out of towns by the church because “only the preacher can heal people like that”. They were upset that he was helping people because he wasn’t ordained by God. He also taught women and African-Americans how to do the hands-on treatment, because he couldn’t figure out why anyone should be excluded when it comes to improving people’s health and quality of life. You can imagine, back in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s that white doctors from affluent families didn’t like this. There was even a CA law that attempted to prevent any new DO’s from gaining licensure which the Supreme Court eventually struck down. In summary, the long-standing stigma between DO’s and MD’s is just another flavor of historical minority oppression.

Since we have a crisis in America concerning the great need for physicians providing medical care in rural and underserved areas, this view is harmful. We need good, caring physicians in rural and underserved areas, and DO medical schools are stepping up and working hard to train physicians to fill this great need.

As a DO student, I don’t think my reasoning for choosing DO is arbitrary. I chose DO because I wanted to learn OMM. I wanted to have tools in my repertoire that can improve patient outcomes before prescribing medication/surgery. OMM is a great tool for this. Jubbal highlighted craniopathy as “quackery” and brushed over the major techniques used in OMT. The way he portrayed OMT in this video would make someone think it’s nothing but nonsense. This couldn’t be further from the truth. The majority of OMT is evidence-based, and craniopathy only encompasses a very small portion of OMT. I chose DO (and am glad that I did) because I have the same breadth of training as an MD, but I also am trained in hands-on techniques that have been shown to improve patient outcomes before, or in adjunct to more traditional treatments. Why wouldn’t I want to be able to help patients by using techniques that can help limit medication usage, surgery, and recovery times? That’s the way I see it. In my opinion, that isn’t arbitrary.

I discovered osteopathic medicine by happenstance my junior year of college and immediately fell in love with the idea of holistic medicine and healing people with my hands. I thought of it like Western medicine with an Eastern heart. I ultimately ended up at an MD school, but only because I wanted to attend a historically Black medical school (which are all MD). Black schools tend to also focus on holistic care because of primarily supporting underserved and complex communities. In hindsight, after completing a master’s program under an osteopathic medical school (in which we took medical school level courses) and now having attended an allopathic medical school for a couple of years… that “holistic” component that inspired me to originally choose DO didn’t exist. It seemed like traditional medical school curriculum (same thing I do now) with OMM crammed in. OMM use is probably heavily dependent on speciality, but after spending hundreds of hours with DOs… I’ve seen it used 2x. Ultimately, and as proven by the slow merging of the two, they really aren’t that different. DO schools might be less competitive, but it literally doesn’t matter. Literally… does… not… matter. No one cares about your MCAT score or GPA. If you graduate from a U.S. residency, you are just as qualified as everyone else. How you got there only matters to the people who didn’t have what it took to get there… or to those who have fragile egos and need to feel like they “earned” something. I automatically guaranteed that any DO is a better physician than the MD who has the arrogance to feel as though they are better… Not a promising character trait for someone who’s pledged their love to service. I wonder how they interact with their patients? 🤷🏽♀️ Just sayin But yeah… competitive speciality residencies are definitely MD gate kept. Even for DO students who have taken USMLE. Insane, but true.

Seeing fewer DO specialists is not necessarily due to preference or non-competitiveness. It could be simply that there are relatively fewer DOs than MDs. A better analysis would be comparing the proportion of DOs to MDs overall to the proportion in a given specialty. Are DOs over or under-represented in any given specialty? That’s the real question.

The mission statement for pretty much all DO schools is to train Primary Care Physicians…it’s literally in their mission statement. If you’re an applicant that wants to sub-specialize and goes through the entire process of interviewing saying you want to do primary care, well-it is what it is. Also, DO pass and score rates for the USMLE are basically identical to MD students. No one cares what your stats were getting into the medical school-at the end of the day the training is the same, if not more difficult.

Yeah DO students go into primary care more because prevention is at the heart of Osteopathic Medicine. It also is a huge need in our crumbling Healthcare system. The imbalance between specialty care and primary care would be even worse if it wasn't for DOs. If more MDs would go into primary care we might not have has many healthcare inequities and Americans would be better off.

You are little misinformed. DO residencies were absorbed under same ACGME...most DO residencies were converted into MD programs so they sit for the same board certification. DO only differs from MDs these days on title. But older MDs still discriminate against DOs because they dont know that now they are idéntical. Most DOs dont practice Osteopathic manipulation.

I have no idea how these things are taught in other fields, but as a former medical massage therapist, I haven't known any cranial-sacral therapy practitioners to speak specifically about CSF or anything to do with its movement. I do know that it's often a very effective therapy modality for many orthopedic and neurologic symptoms that don't respond well to heavier forces. This strikes me as probably a similar subcultural rhetoric issue to that which plagues acupuncture, i.e. that it's often represented with outdated and unscientific terminology which perpetuates a terrible inaccurate reputation for the method, despite better terms and explanations being preferred by science-minded practitioners for a long time now. Your content is very nuanced and forward-thinking overall, and it's not like one concerningly-reductive in-passing comment negates that. That said, basically declaring CST altogether as an example of quackery was a bit uncharacteristically over a line into the territory of bias, and that's a real bummer to see. Patient outcomes would be better if us medical geeks were all a little less quick to categorically dismiss complementary therapy methods just because they've historically had elements of flawed logic; after all, by nature, the notably flawed components of models are what attract the most focus and testing and discussion, and this causes data and social narratives to feedback-loop reinforce each other, and ultimately leads to beliefs that misrepresent the actual benefits of methods which should be looked at in a much more contextualized and applied way. I totally buy that there's not evidence for the _originally preached mechanisms_ of CST. That's true for many many modalities out there. But that doesn't mean the methods themselves aren't significantly effective. This is a major problematic impasse in medicine, particularly manual medicine, especially because it's very hard to specifically define and quantify many qualities of manual medicine indications, practices, and outcomes. But there are plenty of things in allopathic medicine where our questions still boil down to a good number of "we don't know why"s, and yet we recognize that this doesn't negate the usefulness of discoveries made on the way to those unknowns. I'd argue that the use of "quackery" and similar terms is inherently opposed to an objective medical anthropology perspective. By the nature of human behavior and selection pressure, any method people are using for anything in life is filling either an objective need or a perceived need (which is a kind of objective need). To categorically dismiss methods, _particularly_ of care that's hard to standardize for experimentation, and _particularly_ of care that's predominantly used palliatively, just because the theorized mechanisms don't hold up under a particular type of western biomed lens held at a particular angle (I'm NOT belittling the scientific method, solely speaking _within_ the spectrum of experiment design here, because the hard truth is that not all true data is useful data) ... to do this is to willfully and needlessly throw away a tool, one which some real and valid people find relief from sometimes, and which isn't competing for space because it's in an infinitely sized toolbox. The toolbox of medicine can be and should be as diverse as the population it serves. I'm all for caution and criticism and examination of mechanisms and aggressive skepticism, just not for jumping to conclusions that are based in flawed focuses within a more nuanced whole. I'm part of several communities who are used to our cause-effect experiences not being represented in predominant data, and I also have the privilege of seeing why that is and understanding where dominant narratives come from. But if there's any community we (by which I currently mean people like me who have and/or treat problems that are helped by stigmatized modalities, but also other groups whose experiences aren't reflected well in data, e.g. in my case disabled, unhoused, etc.) ... If there's any group we most need to team up with (and in my case infiltrate lol) to start resolving logical and terminology impasses and identifying things that DO work for _most_ people _within specific niche need-area groups,_ it's physicians. To make it all work and move forward with better science all around on this stuff, the western biomed community really needs to help zoom out and get a little more objective and open-minded. And by all means, so do the naturalistic-fallacy people who lean way too hard into "alternative" (hate that term) med and get inappropriately dismissive of valuable tools themselves. But that's not the community I'm mainly talking to right now. :P So yeah. If anyone actually sees this and read this far, let's normalize a moratorium on "quackery" and similar terminology, because it really just firms up needless impasses rather than doing anything constructive. We can do and need to do so, so much better.

The compensation thing is more nuanced. DOs who tend to do primary care more actually on average make more given they more often in rural areas. For those who aren’t aware in rural areas you can literally often double your salary when compared to working an urban academic institution. For example I’m DO in EM at a large MD academic hospital in a major city. The salary here is literally half of what rural ED docs make in my home state (Missouri) where most of the docs I was scribing for in the ED were DO

Retired DO pathologist here and current faculty at a DO school. This is a conversation that was very relevant 30-40 yrs ago but even then DO students were attending residency programs in large academic DO hospitals. In todays world , this is way off base as most programs really don’t care what letters you have. They look at board scores , publications, and most importantly audition rotations typically done in the 4th year of med school. If you are a DO student and you do a an audition rotation and are prepared, interact well with patients and the attendings and are Knowledgeable and hard working you have every bit as good a chance as an MD who maybe wasn’t as prepared or had poor communication skills. My point is the audition rotations even out all other aspects. At our school we matched 99% of our students and sent dozens to very competitive programs and residencies. We matched ENT’s, orthopedics, Interventional IR , surgery etc and at some prestigious institutions for example Stanford, Rush, Brown, NYU, Einstein , Emory etc. DO’s have a higher percentage going into primary care because at most of our schools that is in the mission statement. There is such a need for primary care doctors especially in rural and underserved areas and our profession helps fill that void. But even with that, our class still matched 60% specialties. To summarize, it just doesn’t matter anymore in the vast majority of places. Of course the Harvard hospitals probably feel this way but heck, they turn their nose up to “substandard MD schools” so I wouldn’t worry about them. I have seen our students in every possible program and even subspecialties… I have a close friend who is a trauma surgeon, another cardiac transplant surgeon, neurosurgeons .. thoracic and vascular … need I go on? Work hard, show up early, leave late, always be prepared and communicate well with all members of the medical team and you too can have basically any specialty you want. And one more anecdote, this year one of our DO students scored in the top 0.5% of the country on the USMLE. It’s not the school, it’s the individual that makes the physician. Shocked we are still having this conversation!

This is idealistic. Looking at the data, it's simply objectively false that MD and DO students have the same outcomes. Are MD and DO equal as physicians? Sure, and no one is arguing that. But the notion that both paths are the same without tradeoffs is entirely dishonest to premeds who may end up making a decision they regret. It's important they have both eyes wide open and understand the pros and cons of each. Stating this conversation was relevant 30-40 years ago is completely out of touch with any objective measurements. A DO student performing in the top percentile is not relevant to this discussion.

I appreciate the factual content of your message. I chose to go the DO route because I was a non-traditional student, my overall GPA was lower (only because my first attempt at college, I was not ready for and could not afford to go the extra time it took to claim academic bankruptcy and start over). I, also, was a massage therapist prior and love body work. Regardless of whether or not I regard some DO treatments as not being scientifically based, some make patients feel wonderful and have been proven beneficial. That being said, during my training, some of the med school rotations were at smaller hospitals. There are downfalls and bonuses to this. Yes, numbers of patients treated may not be the same, but the time with patients and time to study disease and treatment is actually better, or was for me. In practice, I have had more positive patient outcomes than my MD counterparts. Just my take. I did, also, want to practice Family Medicine. I spent my first 3 years out of residency in a small critical access hospital as sole ED physician and hospitalist without any specialty support during my 5-7 day, 24hr shifts, receiving better patient outcomes and more patient satisfaction from the other 2 (MD) physicians working the other shifts. So, while a lot of DOs went that route because of multiple reasons, whether or not they choose to practice osteopathic treatment, that is definitely not the case for everyone (as you pointed out). In addition, I continue to be associated with and work as a community preceptor for my previous FM residency, which now has more MD residents, due to the merger, I see no difference in baseline knowledge or ability for basic science-backed/evidence-based medicine. The only difference I see is the lack of ability in the MD resident to address MSK issues prior to referral to a specialist.

I’ve only recently become aware of DO because my primary is a DO because we couldn’t find an MD that is taking patience. And our DO is very old fashioned and either her “evidence” and knowledge is outdated or shes just wrong, which does not look good for a DO and she is a weird person and runs a strange clinic. It a sample size of one but she makes DO’s look bad.

As a DO student I can attest to all of what was stated in this video from the arguments I've heard from both sides to the reasons students choose one over the other. I was accepted into every DO school I applied to and after having done a lot of research on the differences between the two back when I was applying, I was upset to have only been interviewed by one MD school. I still think you can have a fulfilling career in any specialty as a DO, but as stated in the video your chances of getting into a more competitive specialty are slimmer. However, this is changing with both COMLEX and USMLE becoming pass fail. I'm thankful for the opportunity to have the ability to be in med school and one day become a doctor but if I had the ability to go to an MD school I would have taken it to avoid dealing with the stigma, double the amount of board exams, and learning all the OMM that I don't plan on actually using in practice.

This is one of those things where, given enough time, I wouldn't be surprised if the opportunities even out. I'd be really interested to see a study where a patient was blinded to whether the physician was an MD or a DO, go through the treatment, then see if the patient can tell which is which. I bet they can't. I'd likewise love to know the morbidity/mortality of each case and if there's a difference. I bet there isn't. With both such hypothesis, I'd be more than willing to be proven wrong (isn't that what science is all about?), but given how the residency programs are, well, for all intents and purposes the same, I'd be surprised if there's an actual difference. Also, would be interesting if you somehow could control for the ability of the student, as then you could actually compare the programs. The best equivalent would be to compare MD/DO graduates' ability as a physician (in whatever possible quantifiable way, morbidity and mortality being the obvious endpoints but patient satisfaction being an interesting one as well) controlled by admission MCAT scores/GPA. So like, compare an MD graduate with an MCAT of x and a GPA of y to a DO graduate with the same variables. That would tell far more than the average admissions of each type of degree, though even that isn't necessarily a great quantifier of actual inherent abilities required to be a physician

However, I worked with two DO orthopedic surgeons who were extremely intelligent, more so than anybody I have ever met in my life. Yes, they might be outliers, but it changed my perception of DO students completely. They are just as capable as the MD counterpart. If you are a DO and want a competitive specialty, then work extra hard for it. I believe that the two letter difference will become less and less significant in the future.

In my experience as a patient, MDs have been more arrogant and don't listen to the patients as well as the DOs I have seen. I will take a DO over an MD in a heartbeat. MDs seem to forget that we live in our bodies. They are just walking by and glancing through the metaphorical windows. We usually know ourselves. If we say something is wrong, don't be dismissive. I've seen plenty of MDs with the "your google search isnt better than my degree" nonsense. With the DOs I have encountered they take the time to listen. Just my 2 cents though and maybe my antidocdotal knowledge doesn't apply to everyone, but it is my experience.

Currently a first year DO medical student. I had a 4.0 science GPA, 3 research papers, 70th percentile on the MCAT and years of experience working at a medical examiners office performing autopsies. I only applied to DO medical schools because they tend to focus on aiding medically underserved and rural communities, something that I desire to do. I also grew up in a rural community and was largely exposed to DO practice. What I appreciate about being a DO student is how we are taught that the person is made up of three components: mind, body, and spirit, hence the holisitc approach. I do not intend on specializing but serving as a rural physician, who, for lack of better terms has to "know a little bit about everything." I find that the hands on palpitory skills and some OMM treatments could prove valuable in rural clinics where improvising is necessary. I did not apply to MD schools mainly because of my lack of experience/unfamiliarity with their practice of medicine and because my personal goals aligned more with a DO approach. I have no ill feelings toward any MD students or MD physicians. I have learned that medicine is a team effort and we can learn anything from anyone. I look forward to working with all my fellow healthcare professional brothers and sisters in the future. God bless

I am a DO. I feel ZERO tension. Like none. This is a false narrative. Now mid-level creep, real tension there. Also 100% agree the COMLEX is easier and is not a good assessment of competency. I took USMLE as well and passed. BUT my med school classes and residency were kick ass and all my classmates were top notch (except that one guy, you know, there’s always that ONE guy where you’re like if he can become a doctor we all can). One of my professors was literally WORLD renown. I would say the for profit schools were crappier based on med students I rotated with. DO Residency often was more hands on (pre-merger and ACGME more lax hour requirement) but I think that’s changed. I know amazingggg MDs and and crappy DOs and vice-versa. It’s not a reason I trust or don’t trust another physician. I have done manipulation where even I was surprised with the patients exuberant reaction lol and also agree that some manipulation is just BS and I don’t do it. I did OMM on a friend who had a migraine with aura who had return of vision and complete resolution of her migraine. That was pretty cool. Also it’s sad bc if you don’t use it you lose it and with our current fast paced health care system i can count on one hand the number of times I’ve tried to do it in the hospital or in clinic. I can tell you I don’t hide I’m a DO, but I also don’t have an inferiority complex and don’t feel the need to put DO after my name everywhere. Never really thought about it. I 100% would have done the DO route again. My school felt like a family and the faculty and fellow students cared and supported each other. I heard of students ripping out library pages to get an edge over other students at other schools. I also had a family member that was a DO so that was part of my reason.

I understand all the so called "beef" with careers and elitism and all of that -- but I have to say that although yes I do have some WONDERFUL MDs as well, and I love them, as a medically complex patient if all things are equal (i.e. I don't know them) if I end up having to cold call or end up in the ER or the hospital, or urgent care, I have literally gotten near 100% great care from DOs and every bad experience that I've had has been with an MD. Now have I statistically seen more MDs? Of course. But still -- every person who has harmed me in medicine and gotten things horribly wrong has been an MD. The people that slow down and get things right may be an MD or a DO for me... but due to their records I feel so much safer in the hands of a DO because they almost always seem to look at the totality of the issues whereas MDs only do sometimes. As a patient with the problems I have -- I just really need these doctors who look at medicine this way, and if it's partly due to that training or partly to due with the humility involved in that my health has a lot of "I don't know" with it and it's easier for them to be humble, or a combination of all of that -- I have a feeling even in looking up specialties -- I've gotten a DO for OB/GYN, for Neurology, and for pain, and for several other specialties. My MDs are also incredibly respectful of DOs -- several of them learn strategies from them and do integrative medicine fellowships as well. I understand these things won't match with every person -- but even for my surgeons I need a modicum of humility and without it I get seriously hurt. So I think there is always great room for people who may be thought of as lower on the totem pole, with unorthodox paths, but who are sincerely life saving for people like me. Again... MDs have the capacity to do it -- just seems inherent in DO training, which is nice.

Dr. Kevin I appreciate you trying to go through systematically and really explain the differences. I think the main issue with OMM, is that Clinically it works extremely well, however little effort has been done recently to try to study it and really know the reasons why certain things work so physicians are left giving explanations from the 1800s. That brings me to the point about evidence-based medicine. I think this is a big fabrication. Come on Kevin, you were a plastic surgeon. How many of their procedures are solely based on patient preference and not what is the evidence shows that these provide higher quality of life? Evidence shows using 2 simultaneous AEDs during a cardiac arrest has better results esp PE yet hospitals are hesitant to do it. Any procedure that may have a high risk of lawsuit is also not done even if the evidence shows it’s OK. This façade of evidence-based medicine needs to stop, instead we should have evidence and experience based medicine.

So my point is even if some of the osteopathic techniques may stem from outdated ideas, like the cranial stuff, If it works then it’s a valid technique, true study should be performed to make sure it’s not a placebo effect, but at the same time a technique that’s been done tens of thousands of times over a century, with multiple reports of patient benefit, probably is not a placebo
