Can you break down in laymans terms what the key differences in classes one would take between taking an osteopathic route and an allopathic route?

Virtually the same. However, DO schools require classes on osteopathic manipulation bullshite. It's also covered on their tests. Most study it to pass the test, then never use it again. DO schools also tend to have less supervised and more spread out 3rd and 4th year rotations, often requiring traveling to different cities. All my MD rotations were in the same city with the same Attendings. At the end of the day though, most training is received in residency and fellowship.
