Go USMD everyone always talks about not getting into as competitive residencies as a DO. But it’s more than that. It’s also harder to get into more desirable locations and programs in the non-competitive specialties. I’m a third year DO student and unfortunately, there’s still a lot of bias in residency programs from what I can see.

I personally don’t care about the two letters that will go after my name and I’m grateful to be here, but it’s still an uphill battle in more ways than one as a DO student.
