[–] rusticus@lemm.ee 6 points 3 years ago (1 child) There are plenty of outstanding DOs and many poor MDs. But it is a fact that you need better qualifications to get into MD school. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (2 children) I am not taking a position on this, I am just asking. When you say qualifications what are they? Like they didn't take a single math class or they didn't take multiple biology courses? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago (2 children) Generally a better GPA or more prestigious college diploma. Perhaps more research experience depending on the MD school. Most of all it's just the fact that MD schools have been around longer and developed more of a reputation so they can pick and choose their candidates, and it's historically been the case that when some students get rejected from MD school they will turn around and apply for DO school. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] rusticus@lemm.ee 1 point 3 years ago This is correct permalink fedilink source parent [–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago I see, that wasn't what I was expecting to read.
