D.O. or Do Not: The Osteopathic Physician's Journey for Premed & Medical Students

In today’s we present our first in a series of myths and misconceptions episode about Osteopathic Medicine. Why are there so many new DO schools? There are many online comments and on blogs commenting on the reason why, over the past ten years, so many Osteopathic Schools have opened. Most of the reasons presented are unfounded and just plain untrue. Dr. Storch was asked this question on a recent interview on the white coat investor n and was unable to answer it. . . we decided to do some digging!
Today we will find the true answer to this question through an interview Chad Toujague, the director of the Dr. Kiran C Patel Institute for Graduate Medical Education. The institute has not only supported an Osteopathic school at Nova Southeastern, opened a new Osteopathic School in Orlando, and opened a new MD school in the United States at Nova Southeastern , but are opening international schools in India and Africa as well! Do you think Chad had a better answer than say. . . a pediatric nephrologist? Of course he did! Want to know why so many new DO schools have opened recently and Coca’s response to this phenomenon? Listen closely to today’s interview and learn! We certainly did!
