Question
"I am very interested in Osteopathic Medicine. I have and will continue to intern in Osteopathic clinics througout my undergrad years. My only problem is that I've heard it is harder for D.O.'s to enter certain specialties and that they have lower salaries than the average M.D.? Is that true or is it just a myth? And do most D.O.'s work in smaller hospitals? Are D.O.'s allowed to practice outside the United States?"
