Hey guys! I was just wondering what should I do about the D.O. LOR since there are NO D.O.s in my town or the surrounding towns. I am from Louisiana and go to school in Baton Rouge and there are NO D.O.'s there and NONE in my home town. What do you guys think I should do?
No D.O's in my town!

Try checking with the state osteopathic medical association. Here's their physician search page.

There are no programs offered in Osteopathic Medicine in Louisiana. The nearest program is:
University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth
3500 Camp Bowie
Fort Worth, TX 76107
(817) 735-2000
There are no schools of osteopathic medicine in Louisiana, but there are many DOs practicing in Louisiana as well as in Baton Rouge.
I hope this helps.

I believe the OP was asking about finding physicians in Louisiana, not Osteopathic medical schools.

To the OP-
I just thought I'd mention that a D.O. letter is not required at many D.O. schools (though recommended). I was accepted at UMDNJ-SOM without one (however, I do have a letter from an M.D. I worked with). I guess it all kind of depends on your whole application.
No matter who writes your letter, make sure they know you well enough to write a good one. I think adcoms can tell when a letter is written by someone who doesn't know you well.
Good Luck!!
