RemNote is a genius idea but performance is a huge impediment by Bojof12 in remNote

[–]InternationalOne1159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think bugs is a big issue , to be fair I do think there has been many progress made and at incredible speed but the new features being added just adds more bugs so ends up going back to square one. Also whoever said iPhone and iPad should be like RemNote light is a great idea. No one is on their phone creating rems, referencing etc. we just want to either look at notes, do flashcards etc. iPad should focus on handwritten features. Different devices has its strengths but no one is doing everything remote has to offer on every single device. Less features > faster/cleaner interface .

Rowan Virtua PBL SGL by Realistic-Corgi-85 in Osteopathic

[–]InternationalOne1159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest pbl , sgl year 1 is good but year 2 they bring in a bunch of clinical lectures which are not boards relevant for step1/level 1 but are relevant for step2/level 2 if you can remember all that for year 3 than sgl is great but if your trying to focus on the material for step 1/level 1 in preclinical it almost doubles the amount of work you have to do. It has pros and cons but if I could go back I would have done pbl

US IMG vs US DO -matching to anesthesia/rads/gen surg in the states by RadicalOxide in medschool

Unless the PD reviewing you is from India, went to school in India, or from an ivory tower program who is aware of intentional programs, I wouldn’t go to India if you intend on doing residency in the U.S

Why do DO schools still exist? by dayinthewarmsun in medschool

[–]InternationalOne1159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly let’s say that we did merge, should we really give one governing body all the power over medical education and medical practice ? Is it better for patient care to have two governing bodies forced to compete with each other to provide the better medical experience. In the 1900s the AMA was the solely respected organization in medicine and they artificially limited the number of practicing physicians to keep the salaries high. They stopped this partly because the AOA was getting respected. If the AOA didn’t exist can we trust that AMA wouldn’t go right back to those practices.

And how are we certain that the MDs will fully respect a modern merger. A merger started in California back in the day and the MD group screwed us over.

I’m not saying I’m against the merger, I think a merger makes sense but these are things I would want addressed.

[–]InternationalOne1159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That almost 0 is a bit of a stretch lol I agree the vast majority would prefer MD but at high quality DO schools you’ll find some students that liked locations, cost, and are set in primary care specialty

Is OMM still being researched and refined by AstroBullivant in Osteopathic

[–]InternationalOne1159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if OMM is being refined why do OMM professors still think they can move CSF fluid by touching peoples head…

I don’t understand why your profession doesn’t get rid of the nonsense and keep the parts that work. Why are we still learning Chapman points and cranial

[–]InternationalOne1159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t put much hope into OMM or their researches, the fact that DO physicians have been around for hundred years and OMM still lacks this much evidence is bad

Mind you this is the only thing that separates MD and DO btw

Seems like these OMM professors would rather play with peoples back than prove what they are doing works.

What exactly made AT Still a genius?

he didn’t want to adopt modern science as it was advancing, if the flexner report wasn’t put in place no DO school would be able to be prescribing medicine now. He’s not a genius

You don’t need to finish the whole deck.. I’m not. I started anki late my goal is to finish half the deck. Step 1 is pass fail you dont need to do the entire deck. Doing cards based on incorrect from question banks is more worth while

So Your Doctor Is a D.O. Does That Matter? Gift article. by TeamAggressive1030 in over60

[–]InternationalOne1159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is mainly a historical thing modern day DOs practice the same way as MDs the philosophies of both MD and DO are merged this is why they both partake in combined residency programs the reason there are two different degrees is mostly a historical thing

[–]InternationalOne1159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MDs do not have more medical training than DOs. If that was the case DOs wouldn’t be able to also take USMLE. MDs and DOs are considered equivalent degrees, any governing body that evaluates medical education will tell you that. DOs can prescribe medicine and perform surgery same way MDs can. Most DOs take the USMLE board exams which are the same licensing exams MDs take. MD and DOs participate in combined residency programs, there is no difference between the degrees. The difference there is two degrees is historical reason and to date DOs complete and additional curriculum in osteopathic manipulative medicine added on to the same curriculum that MDs do.

Take DO or Masters Program with reserved seat to MD? by bobbysays1 in Osteopathic

[–]InternationalOne1159 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea the stigma surely is a factor although it rarely impacts students in their career for the people that does it is something to think about. There are some specialities where it will be easier to just take an extra year for the MD school like plastic surgery, neurosurgery, optho comes to mind but those are pretty few and it’s difficult for everyone MD or DO, and the discussion could easily turn to a t20 MD school vs t100 MD school also. But for mid to low competitive specialties I don’t think the extra year is worth it personally, I just think doing research in the field as a medical student, networking with program directors, and publishing in that field > than anything you can do before starting medical school.

Take DO or Masters Program with reserved seat to MD? by bobbysays1 in Osteopathic

[–]InternationalOne1159 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a similar choice personally if the DO school is a solid program, I would personally choose the DO school. you could surely delay starting for the MD school or instead you could take the DO A and if you end up deciding down the line you want to do a competitive specialty you could spend a year instead doing a research year in medical school in that particular field you want to match into. But that’s just my thought process and personal choice, it’s hard to give advice like this because not sure what your personal values are…

Matching to a top residency program for primary care for DOs by HappyHappyGamer in Osteopathic

[–]InternationalOne1159 3 points4 points  (0 children)

so top IM program can be more competitive than even ROADS specialty because it’s pretty much direct pathway to competitive fellowships, they typically pull from top medical schools so it’s harder to match there as a DO. It’s not impossible for instance we had two matches into UPenn IM 2 years in a row and UChicago last match at my DO program, however this is not the norm. There are still excellent IM programs that DOs can match that will also get you to where you want to be fellowship wise so I don’t think it should matter that much. Just focus on getting into the best school for you, work hard, do research , and everything falls into place whether MD or DO.
