A D.O. has the ability to perform the same tasks as an M.D., including diagnosing, prescribing medications and performing surgeries, but also have an extra skill set that allows them to focus on a more holistic approach to healing the body and preventing future problems. Our Pre-SOMA chapter has a number of events planned, including guest speakers, shaDO days with medical students, volunteer opportunities, leadership conferences, surgery simulations, and much more. The best part? National Registration is completely free!
