What is a Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.)?
In the United States, Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, (D.O.'s), are licensed medical physicians and surgeons practicing and prescribing medication in all clinical specialties along with their M.D. colleagues. Like an M.D., an osteopathic physician completes 4 years of medical school, an internship or residency, and practices in any specialty of medicine. However, osteopathic physicians receive an additional 300 - 500 hours in the study of hands-on manual medicine and the body's musculoskeletal system. Osteopathic medicine is dedicated to treating and healing the entire patient as a whole, rather than focusing on one system or body part.
