Choosing a medical school can be very difficult. Because of this, you must plan out how you do premed and your overall goals. You’ll also need to familiarize yourself with each medical school’s mission, secondary essays, and MCAT/GPA stats! Start your school list today using my table below!
Below is a full list of the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation accredited U.S. D.O. programs! These programs are considered the gold standard for D.O. programs and are perfect for becoming a physician. I’ve listed each medical school’s state, the name of every medical school in the United States, the city, year of initial accreditation, and much more! I hope this helps 🙂
