Hi everyone! Thank you for taking the time to read! I am an OMS-1 interested in anesthesiology. I am thinking about applying to the FAER MSARF summer research program. I was wondering if the program typically takes DO students. Would a low MCAT score affect my chances? I am in good academic...

I was previously accepted to NYITCOM and was fully planning on paying my acceptance deposit, which is due on Jan 7th. However, I just got accepted into DMU today and now, I’m not sure what to do. I don’t want to make the wrong choice if there is a clear better option. I am from Maryland so NY is...

Michigan State’s College of Osteopathic Medicine provides an innovative patient-centered curriculum with multiple specialties and multiple opportunities for clinical exposure. Sound appealing? Well, plug in your earbuds because today I’m speaking with the senior associate dean of admissions at...

What the title says. Scored in low 300s. Will need about a 100 point jump in 4 weeks to pass. Is it feasible? Should I apply to the match this cycle? I'm planning on dual applying Peds/FM. What are the odds I'm able to get into a good Midwestern program?

I just found out that OUHCOM make students to do residency in-state after graduate, or else pay high fine. Are there any other schools do this? Or at least schools I applied? (MSUCOM, MUCOM, PCOM, NYITCOM, Rowan-SOM)?? Thank you in advance.

Hi, I just want to make sure I am using my time effectively. Any suggestions for videos, books, texts, journals, etc. to read/watch before medical school to get my head back into the hang of things. I took a gap year... might be a little foggy on some topics. Anything would help! Thank you!

Anyone else read this special commission report? (see recommendation #1). Would all the COMs be ready to administer this within a year without any integrity issues? Recommendations from the Special Commission on Osteopathic Medical Licensure Assessment — NBOME

The specialty I want is not very competitive (PM&R or Community Neuro) so I am just wondering how many board exams I will have to take? Would applying with a P on COMELX 1 and a STEP 2 and COMLEX score be enough or will programs require I take get a P on STEP 1 as well as a STEP 2 score?

I am doing some specialty research and was wondering which of these two specialties is more competitive. Google tells me PM&R as it is often cited as one of the least competitive specialties having low board scores and not much interest by sources like medschoolinsiders.com and medicalaid.org...

Anyone have any advice on which school to choose? I’ve been accepted to all 3 and I’m paralyzed by the decision/ afraid to make a mistake. OSU-COM (closest to where I live, still out of state), OU-HCOM (closer to family, again out of state) and NYIT-AR (no ties to region/area of the state). Can...

So, the option to take it scored is not possible for most of CO 2024, so now the question whether or not to take STEP1? Is taking it required to sit STEP2 CK? Is it a safer bet to go ahead and take it to stand apart from students that do not? Is it better to avoid it and save $650?

Hey guys I got into DMU and NOVA and I’m really not sure which to send my deposit to. I know the cost of living will be much cheaper in Des Moines so I’m leaning towards it but is there any insight about DMU besides it’s prestige as a founding DO school (ie clinical rotations etc)? I haven’t...

Hey guys!! So I've recently been accepted to three pretty amazing schools, feeling incredibly blessed, but the first deposit is dawning on me, and I'd greatly appreciate y'alls insight on how to best go about choosing between these schools: KCU-COM (Joplin) Pros P/F Curriculum No mandatory...

I am currently taking medical school prerequisites as a part of a DIY post-bacc, however I am taking only one course per year so far (because the classes I want to take concurrently require the classes I am currently taking as a prereq) which obviously is a pretty low course load. I am in Canada...
