And how many MDs did you talk to? Most of the ones I meet say that MDs and DOs are virtually identical in practice.
Well OP as long as you intend to practice virtual medicine, you're pretty much set.
The MDs I've talked too have told me there are differences in ACTUAL practice. At least at the hospital I was at back in the States, a doctor told me that DOs see the less severe/less complicated cases and the MDs handled the ones with the tough calls. Sure there may not be much of a difference in the job itself, or the salary, but why limit yourself? Why not try to be the best?
That being said, the increased dropout rate doesn't even make it into my top three reasons why any informed premed should pick MD over DO if given the opportunity.
1. disorganized and less rigorous clinical education
2. COMLEX
3. more difficulty in the match with many doors closed
Even if there isn't much difference between the dropout rates, this is still true and three reasons why MD is more advantageous beyond the degree itself.
Nevermind. You haven't the slightest idea what you are talking about. It isn't worth my time.
Lol where exactly? I don't think anything I said is untrue so please enlighten me DO god.
