Nope. When I decided to attend a DO school, I was excited about the prospect of "treating the whole patient rather than symptoms", being able to diagnose and treat with my hands rather than relying on medications, and learning medicine from a whole different perspective than that of the common MD.
Well, I got scammed. I obtained an MD curriculum with the addition of 3 hours of OPP per week. I did rotations with MD students where nothing we learned in DO school put us above them, except for the fact that we could crack each other's backs now and then. I learned nothing in DO school stating that "this is the MD method of treatment, but this is the DO treatment which is far superior". Our school gave us a discount for board prep, but what were the books we received? 8 Kaplan USMLE books, with one packet of COMLEX questions. Basically I am passionate for a change because of this: I received an MD education with a little bit more, hence my designation should represent that.
If I truly felt that I had something totally different to offer my patients than my MD colleagues, I would advertise that and fight to make it known that DOs are significantly different and can offer better care. The AOA spreads this propaganda (albeit inefficiently as the public still isn't aware of DOs), and it's how a lot of us got suckered in.
That is fantastic, and I hope this trend continues. But still, at this present time there are more DOs graduating than there are DO residency spots, and technically we could sue the AOA for not providing us with enough post-graduate education necessary for board certification in our field of choice. However, most of us just want to move on with our careers so we just match allo. The osteopathic profession is making improvements, but it seems like they are focused more on quantity and money (branch campuses, for-profit schools) rather than quality education.
