I'm sure UAB med school is really worried about the new holistic med school in Auburn.

havent heard yet, but likely they are. i know uab and south are both pissed about the new dothan school.

DOs typically arent going to get into a surgery residency, so you shouldnt have any concerns there, however, those that get into whatever residencies have the same training post-graduate, which is where they learn to do what theyre doing, alongside their MD counterparts.

and yes, DOs can take the usmle just like MDs, althought they also have the option of taking COMLEX instead.
