<p>Could some please elaborate (or direct me to existing threads) on what to do if not medical school.</p>
<p>The three options I see are:</p>
<p>DO</p>
<p>Foreign med school</p>
<p>re-applying</p>
<p>I am not all to sure about any of those 3 options and what the possible outcomes are. Thanks for your help in advance.</p>
<p>Roughly speaking, see posts #540 and on here:

<p>Thaks for your help. </p>
<p>If DO school is a residency in anesthesiology or urology possible, and if so how possible. I ask about these 2 specialities because right now those are what interest me. But since I will only be entering college in the fall this can asily change.</p>
<p>As for re-applying how would you go about doing that?</p>
<p>1.) Anything is possible. But those two are pretty tough even out of US MD programs, so I wouldn't hold my breath. Besides, you're too young.</p>
<p>2.) You just... do it again. I don't understand the question.</p>
<p>Re-applying: If you did not get accepted your first time there was obviously a reason-grades, extra curriculours etc...</p>
<p>Say its your grades, what do you do? Do you get a master's or do you take post-graduate pre-med courses and if so how much do your chances improve</p>
<p>Say its your extra-curriculous, then what do you do for a whole year?</p>
<p>What are the most common specialties for DO</p>
<p>1.) You can enroll in a post-baccalaureate program or get a master's. Either way works. Obviously your chances will improve based on how much your grades improve.</p>
<p>2.) Usually research is the most common thing to do.</p>
<p>3.) Family practice is the stereotype. In my experience, recently met DO's include a trauma surgeon, a psychiatrist, and a cardiologist.</p>
