(sparked by shady grove's post in the introductions thread)
No, not a "which is better or more prestigious" question a la the premed forums, but rather which is more prevalent? Are there proportionally more DOs than MDs in hospice/palliative care than in some of the more traditional fields? Do DO schools tend to include more training along these lines in their curricula than MD schools?
Those of you who have completed med school (either MD or DO): how do you feel about your choice to pursue that "flavor" of medical training, given your interests/goals in palliative/hospice care?
