MD's and DO's have similar undergraduate education. The main difference is postgraduate training where MD programs are more numerous and better qualified.......more than half of all DO's go into allopathic[md] programs as there are not enough osteopathic hospitals to handle them. Both are well trained in basics, but MD specialty training is superior, such as cardiology, radiology, ent, surgery, and subspecialties within internal medicine.

Well, that is good to know. I know that the original theory is not scientifically validated......

Re-osteopaths:

You're correct. I have had a DO (doctor of Osteopathy) at Kaiser and he has been excellent prescribing medications that I needed - even new ones that I found out about on the Internet.

I could find little difference between his treatment format and the other MDs I have gone to over 50 yrs. Besides DOs are quite ready to refer patients on to specialists in areas that need specialist attention.
