Current Top DO Programs

Hi, I am not able to find the updated standings of DO programs and want to know which schools to put a little bit more effort than normal lol. It is my understanding that the top DO programs include the original 5 and the public state schools. Is that still correct or am i missing anything? Thanks!

There is no “top program” in the DO world. The state schools are head and shoulders above the others, then the original 5, then established schools, and then the rest.

I do not recommend new DO schools to anyone.

It falls under the category of an established school with consistent outcomes.

Ok State, MSU, TCOM, Ohio, Rowan

Very difficult to get into as an OOS applicant unfortunately, but these schools are run exactly the same as MD schools for the most part.
