You are embarking on one of the most important journeys of your life and one of the largest growth periods you will ever face. At the end of it, you will have achieved the honor of becoming a licensed osteopathic physician--providing the safe, effective, and competent care that patients deserve from DOs.

This path may come with challenges and stress, but it’s important to maintain a balance to avoid feelings like burnout, imposter syndrome, or loneliness. The Road to DO Licensure seeks to combat that by providing stories, tips, and advice from fellow students, residents, practicing physicians, and our experts here at the NBOME, who have traversed the same road ahead and want to see you succeed.

We encourage you to take a look around at the resources here that are intended to help you avoid any major potholes.
