I would say it is still relevant. I doubt that someone admitted to both LSU-NO med school and VCOM Monroe is going to choose Monroe over LSU, given the higher tuition and locale of Monroe.
Honestly, residency matters much more than med school in regards to physician training.
I mean LSU med schools are of the more relatively inexpensive med schools, in-state tuition wise. if you are OOS, tuition wise you might as well go anywhere or a private school.
The residency thing is basically my point. DOs get residencies alongside MDs all the time and they are working on merging the residencies/accreditation entirely.

Having every residency be ACGME accredited is a done deal, it's just going to take another 2 years for all the site visits/paperwork/approval stuff to get done so 2020 is when 100% of the transition is supposed to be done.
DO schools are still accredited by COCA which either don't have a moratorium on number of programs or have easier accreditation standards than LCME. New DO schools are cash cows and seem to pop up every year
