D.O.s and M.D.s are alike in many ways. Both undergo similar education, typically consisting of four-year undergraduate degrees in the sciences and four years of basic medical education, followed by three to six years of specialty practice. Both D.O.s and M.D.s are fully qualified physicians licensed to prescribe medication and perform surgery. They belong to separate but equal branches of the US Health Care System, and together they enhance the state of health care available in America.
About Osteopathic Medicine
|
An osteopathic family physician treats the whole person, not just a disease or its symptoms. Osteopathic family physicians provide disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment strategies for you and your entire family from infancy.
Since this focus promotes an appreciation for the interrelationship between body, mind, and spirit, they can provide you with the most holistic and comprehensive family medical care available. Their interconnected relationship allows osteopathic family physicians the unique ability to diagnose and effectively treat conditions that may elude non-osteopathic medical professionals.
