Best Answer

To become an osteopathic physician, you must complete your undergraduate years of study and earn a Bachelor's degree, take the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test), and get into an osteopathic medical school in the United States. Once you've done that, you will have to complete four years of osteopathic medical school to earn the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree (D.O.). After that, you'll most likely enter into a residency and during the first year of residency, pass the last of the licensure examinations and you'll be an osteopathic physician.

Usually osteology, the study of bone, falls under the Anthropology department. A major in Physical Anthropologywould cover topics like forensics, pathology, and osteology. These areas study human bone, muscle formation, reproduction and anatomy. A major in Physical Anthropology is a Bachelor of Arts, B.A.

How many years does it take to be an osteopathic physician?

It depends on your frame of reference, but most people ask how many years out from high school it takes to become an osteopathic physician, so I'll use that. After high school, you would need to attend a college/university and earn a Bachelor's degree (usually four years but some people get it done in three), and take the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test). After you take the MCAT and hopefully do well on that test, you apply to osteopathic medical schools. Once you're accepted, you need to complete four years of osteopathic medical school and complete the board licensure examinations to be a licensed osteopathic physician. Residency is not technically necessary to be a physician, but it is basically the expectation that medical students will attend residency and go on to pursue additional training in a medical specialty.


What is the minimum education for a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine?

The minimum education to obtain a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree (DO) is four years of medical school. Please note that just because a physician finishes medical school, does not mean they are licensed, this applies to both DOs and MDs. Always check to make sure that your physician has graduated from an accredited medical school, is licensed, and is board certified in their medical specialty. A simple online search will usually give you the information you need.
