Review: I graduate from Berkeley, I'm finishing my premed requirements and I am seriously considering a future in osteopathic medicine. I bought this book believing that it would cover in depth fellowship/residency opportunities, day-in-the-life, practice areas/scope (in depth) etc. The book is big-type-font and in terms of actual pages, it's less than 100 (and the book iself is about the size of a palm pilot!). The information is outdated and skimpy at best, and the majority of the focus tends to center around the idea that "osteopathic physicians are now considered equal (almost) to allopathic physicians" and that all students of osteopathic medicine should go into a DO program solely to practice primary care (for the most part). The way statistical measurements are portrayed/discussed is flawed (thank you professor Rice (Statistics 2 at Berkeley)) and if anything I am more turned off after reading the book. Finally, an extensive portion of the book is spent thanking various people for their help in this 'project.' Personally, I do not think the author is indebted to anyone - the 'project' is poorly written, outdated, misrepresents numerical data, and truely should never have been written. Moreover, it costs about 10 dollars - you get what you pay for. There is much better information on the web(www.studentdoctor.net/do/index.asp), and on the admissions webpages for the various osteopathic schools (and www.aacom.org etc).
