re: So What's New in Auburn for 2015

As a D.O. and board certified anesthesiologist, I can say that the training is essentially the same in the first 2 years of book work with the exception of some additional training in manual manipulation. The third and 4th year rotations are more preceptor based (ie you shadow a physician) one on one, versus traditional medical schools which are primarily hospital based working with residents and attending physicians. Pro's and cons to each, but basically you get what you put into either. Out of the 50 members of our group, about 10 are D.O.'s. The thing to keep in mind is that all DO's or MD's must pass the same Specialty certification to be boarded in that specialty.

Sorry for the long post.
