[quote=Anonymous]I’ve moved around a lot so have had a lot of different doctors over the years, and I have chronic health issues so I go fairly frequently. My DOs have been every bit as good and often better than the MDs I went to. DO schools and Caribbean medical schools teach the same basic medical school courses as stateside allopathic medicine schools. DO schools have an added element to the education, not less than. And all the graduates of these schools have to compete for and complete residencies in the USA and then any post graduate speciality programs they seek beyond basic medical licensing. DOs and Caribbean medical school graduates also have to pass the same medical licensing boards as allopathic medicine students do. I wouldn’t hesitate to see either and would simply ask for a second opinion as always when indicated, and I would fire any doctor I wasn’t happy with no matter how elite their degree.[/quote]
