The provided web search results focus on defining and comparing the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree to the more common Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree [[0]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_of_Osteopathic_Medicine)[[1]](https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/difference-between-md-and-do)[[4]](https://www.piedmont.org/living-real-change/your-doctor-the-difference-between-an-md-and-do). The other sources define the common English verb "do" [[2]](https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/do)[[3]](https://www.thefreedictionary.com/do).

Understanding the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) Degree

A Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) is a fully licensed physician who holds a medical degree conferred by one of the 42 osteopathic medical schools in the United States [[0]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_of_Osteopathic_Medicine). D.O.s and M.D.s (Doctors of Medicine) are the two types of complete physicians trained and licensed to practice the full scope of medicine in the USA.

Core Similarities Between MDs and DOs

The educational and professional paths for MDs and DOs are remarkably similar. Both must complete a four-year undergraduate degree, followed by four years of medical education [[1]](https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/difference-between-md-and-do). After medical school, both undertake an internship and a residency program, which provides several years of on-the-job training under experienced doctors. Many also complete fellowships for further specialization. MDs and DOs are often trained side-by-side in these residency programs. Both must pass rigorous licensing exams to practice medicine and have the same rights and responsibilities, including the ability to perform surgery and prescribe medication [[1]](https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/difference-between-md-and-do)[[4]](https://www.piedmont.org/living-real-change/your-doctor-the-difference-between-an-md-and-do). Research has shown that the quality of care provided by both is equivalent, with studies of hospitalized Medicare patients finding nearly identical outcomes in length of stay, readmission rates, and mortality [[1]](https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/difference-between-md-and-do).

Key Philosophical and Practical Differences

The primary difference lies in their philosophical approach to patient care and an added skill set for DOs. DOs are trained in osteopathic medicine, which emphasizes a more holistic, whole-person approach to care. This means they are taught to consider the mind, body, and emotions in the treatment process [[1]](https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/difference-between-md-and-do)[[4]](https://www.piedmont.org/living-real-change/your-doctor-the-difference-between-an-md-and-do).

A distinctive element of their training is Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT). OMT is a hands-on technique used to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness or injury. By moving a patient's muscles and joints, a DO can help alleviate pain, promote healing, and increase overall mobility. This focus on the musculoskeletal system is a cornerstone of osteopathic medicine [[1]](https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/difference-between-md-and-do)[[4]](https://www.piedmont.org/living-real-change/your-doctor-the-difference-between-an-md-and-do).

Furthermore, DOs have a strong history of focusing on preventive medicine and are more likely to work in primary care fields than MDs, with more than half pursuing careers as primary care physicians [[1]](https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/difference-between-md-and-do). Despite this focus, they can and do specialize in all areas of medicine, from surgery to psychiatry.

Demographics and Recognition

MDs are significantly more common than DOs. Almost 90% of doctors who attended a U.S. medical school hold an MD degree, with one study finding that 81% of doctor's visits were to MDs compared to 19% to DOs [[1]](https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/difference-between-md-and-do). However, the number of DOs is growing rapidly. When choosing a physician, the choice between an MD and a DO is less important than selecting a doctor you trust and who is well-qualified in their field [[1]](https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/difference-between-md-and-do)[[4]](https://www.piedmont.org/living-real-change/your-doctor-the-difference-between-an-md-and-do).
