Not surprised to see UNTHSC-TCOM in Fort Worth make the list! I was impressed from the moment I stepped foot in that school as an aspiring med-student taking a tour. I’m always so glad I chose to attend. Here in Massachusetts, patients often choose me because I’m a DO! Indira Konanur DO, TCOM class of 2007 Mar. 23, 2017, at 6:03 pm Reply
DO medical schools provide very high quality education and I’m glad to see so many schools being recognized. Mar. 25, 2017, at 6:27 pm Reply
Gail Fancher says “everybody knows what DOs are/know – unfortunately I must disagree. I work in Willingboro, NJ. PCOM and Rowan COM are both within spitting distance, and New York college is just up the road. Still I get asked what is a DO and is that the same as a chiropractor? Things have definitely improved from when I graduated in 1979, but there is still a lot of patient education needed! Sep. 12, 2017, at 2:28 am Reply
