Are you interested in becoming a physician? This is not an easy decision to make, and we have provided the following resources and data to help you understand what goes into the years or preparation before medical school. The most basic place to start is understanding the different types of medical schools: MD (allopathic) and DO (osteopathic). Applicants do NOT have to decide between applying MD versus DO, but depending on their current academic data it may be more realistic or preferable to apply to more of one type of school than the other. The majority of our applicants apply to both MD and DO schools in a cycle.

To explore the differences between MD and DO programs, please view these links.
