In what regard and by what measure are DOs "inferior?" (I assume you mean locale - or do you use the term as the British do when referring to their "local" as in pub?)

In my experience DOs often see themselves as distinctly apart from MDs as having a more personal engagement in the healing process - if that is common in your program, use it for your own benefit. The nitty-gritty: look for points of attachment and commonality and use them.
Comment:

In my local DOs are inferior to MDs but these DOs near my home refuse to accept new patients who are on Medicare:

NC only opened its first DO school a few years ago. Just wait on them to start pumping out quality doctors and you'll be amazed. Sorry you had a bad experience but judging the lot by the actions of a few isn't ideal.

I have been treated by both MDs and DOs during my life time. I have had just as many good experiences with one as the other, and just as many bad experiences with each. I have really seen very little differences how either one has treated me.
