Very recently a popular scrub apparel company posted an image of a female doctor of osteopathic medicine.

This is not unusual but what was highlighted in the image is that the book was from the "For Dummies" series which breakdowns concepts for the simplest of readers. The book in question was upside down and was titled "Medical Terminology for Dummies". 

This reminded me of the misconceptions that circulate regarding IMG's and also DO's.

In today's episode, Dr. Ruth Arumala and myself discuss FAQs about international medical school (an MD route) versus osteopathic medical school (the DO route).

As an Obstetrician-Gynecologist with a practice in Mansfield, Texas, Dr. Ruth Arumala provides evidence based medical care to women of all ages at all aspects of their lives. Dr. Arumala specializes in the management of pregnancy, fibroids, PCOS, sexual dysfunction and menopause.

Dr. Arumala has won several awards that demonstrate her exceptional clinical skills and service to her community. These include 2020 National Minority Quality Forum’s 40 Under 40 Leaders in Minority Health, 2020 Fort Worth Magazine “Top Docs” Tarrant County, Ob-Gyn, 2020 Texas Super Doctors Rising Stars, and 2020 Women in Medicine’s “Top ObGyn” Fort Worth.

In addition to her clinical duties, Dr Arumala also serves as the entertaining hostess of the ‘Pretty + Pink Podcast: A Modern Woman’s Guide to Health.” From love, sex and relationships to the managing personal finances, Dr. Arumala interviews inspirational female expert guests who explore a broad range of topics that affect women.

Armed with her varied experience in medical training, Ruth Arumala, DO, MPH, NCMP invests a lot of time and resources to preparing the next generation of physicians for their careers through one-on-one mentoring and video series hosted on several media outlets.
