Osteopathic Medical Schools Are Getting More Selective
Find Your Best Match!!!

Most medical school applicants eventually come across information about osteopathic medical schools and ask some variant of the question: What's that? Osteopathic physicians are the very extreme minority in the country still with about 10% of all physicians being DO's. Doctor's of osteopathy do, however, get a very similar education to those at allopathic medical schools (MD degree path), with few differences. Take a look at the discussion here about the differences between doctor of osteopathy and traditional allopathic physicians. Even if you feel like you have a pretty good handle on the differences, make sure to read that section, many are surprised.

In the past, osteopathic schools were an "easy" way to get into medical school. In some ways it is still looked on that way. Numbers to get into osteopathic schools are less competitive. However, osteopathic schools are notorious for admitting people with lower numbers and better interpersonal skills, as shown in community service, interview skills and other parts of the application that accentuate your people skills. Keep this in mind as you fill out your osteopathic application.

There is also a significant difference in the curriculum at osteopathic medical schools. And not only curriculum but also differences in how you should prepare for you application process. We outline the differences between osteopathic medical schools and allopathic here.

Here is your list of osteopathic schools. If you are looking for an allopathic list, take a look there. Also go there to find how to best use this list to research schools and make a list of the schools that best fit you.
