Osteopathic P&P
I love the osteopathic insights from Dr. Rao. I’d love to hear more of his stories and experiences.
Awesome!
Super informative - thank you! I’d love to hear you guys talk about suggestions/thoughts on what accepted applicants can do in between being accepted and actually starting med school, to prepare for their first year.
