Osteopathic Physician
If you're like most people, you've been going to a physician ever since you were
born and perhaps were not aware whether you were seeing a D.O. (osteopathic
physician) or an M.D. (allopathic physician). You may not even be aware that
there are two types of complete physicians in the United States. Did you know
that there are five osteopathic physicians in Las Vegas.
The fact is that both D.O.s and M.D.s are fully qualified physicians licensed to
prescribe medication and perform surgery. Is there any difference between these
two kinds of physicians? Yes. And no.
D.O.s and M.D.s are alike in many ways:
* Applicants to both D.O. and M.D. medical colleges typically have four-year
undergraduate degrees with an emphasis on scientific courses.
* Both D.O.s and M.D.s complete four years of basic medical education.
* After medical school, both D.O.s and M.D.s obtain graduate medical education
through such programs as internships and residencies. This training typically
lasts three to six years and prepares D.O.s and M.D.s to practice a specialty.
* Both D.O.s and M.D.s can choose to practice in any specialty area of
medicine-such as pediatrics, family practice, psychiatry, surgery or obstetrics.
* D.O.s and M.D.s both practice in fully accredited and licensed health care
facilities.
* Together, D.O.s and M.D.s enhance the state of health care available in
America.
D.O.s, however, belong to a separate yet equal branch of American medical care.
It is the ways that D.O.s and M.D.s are different that can bring an extra dimension
to your family's health care.
