Workshop Description:
Have you heard about DOs but don’t know anything about it? Are you unsure about what they can do? Are you curious about Osteopathic Medicine? Do you know that there are 125,000 DOs practicing in all specialties, from Primary Care to Neurosurgery?
Do you know that there are 31,000 Osteopathic Medical Students in the US?
Do you know what it takes to be accepted into the DO program at Touro University California College of Medicine?
Then you should come and hear and ask questions from Dr. Wagner, Chair of Admission and Curriculum, Mr. Davis, Director of Admission, and 2 Osteopathic Students, Sallie and Huzefa, about Osteopathic Medicine and how to get accepted into TUCOM.
