In addition, can H1B or J1 waiver be provided to DO graduates?
thanks

I'll respond before it gets locked (see earlier DO vs SGU threads).
Again, me personally, in at VCOM and NSUCOM, don't want to do surgety, chose SGU. If I had wanted
competitive surgery I would have taken NSUCOM.
What I don't like about the DO, is that the upper brass seem to be hanging on to OMM for dear life. Went on the interviews, on the interview I had some OMM done to me. Felt great, does it work, I don't see it. I cannot pretend to be part of something I don't feel certain about.
Canadian or otherwise (I am a UK/US citizen), if I really wanted to avoid living in the Caribbean with all its hassles, and could tolerate doing ~200 hours of OMM, I would go to AZCOM.
I believe in the MD (omitting the OMM that is), so for me I had no choice. I feel that SGU is the real deal, Caribbean or not.
