This book contains very basic information and I would only recommend it to those who want to understand the essential structure of osteopathic medical education. It contains a lot of commonsense information that can be found online for free. I only rated it three stars because I didn't find it as helpful as I had hoped. It didn't provide any information that I didn't already know. I don't recommend it to someone who already has a basic knowledge of osteopathy and wants to gain more in-depth knowledge. For those individuals I strongly recommend The DOs: Osteopathic Medicine in America, by Norman Gevitz.
