Although allopathic (MD) and osteopathic (DO) medicine represent different philosophies of patient care, a physician in either branch of medicine is required to pass the same national board examination to practice.
Students seeking admission to medical schools are encouraged to plan a baccalaureate degree that includes courses which meet the stated entrance requirements of the medical school of their choice as listed in Medical School Admissions Requirements or the websites of the Association of American Medical Colleges: www.aamc.org and the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine: www.aacom.org. The pre-medical student may choose any major or minor and is encouraged to become acquainted with the main bodies of knowledge as represented by the various academic disciplines.
In light of adequate preparation for the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) and changes in medical school requirements, students should incorporate classwork in the following areas into their curriculum:
- Biochemistry
- Sociology
- Psychology
- Statistics
