No. DO and MD are the two different, yet equal, degrees needed to become licensed physicians and surgeons in the United States. The credentials you use would have to be the ones you've earned. Putting an MD after your name when you are really a DO would be like putting an MS after your name when you really have an MA. MD and DO are two different, yet totally equivalent degrees. How many freaking times does this need to be said?
A doctor of osteopathic medicine has the same credentials as does an MD including the option of becoming "board certified" in their area of training. They spend the same amount of time in medical school, internship, residency as does an MD, but unlike an MD, a DO spends hundreds of hours of additional training in the musculoskeletal system.
