Can doctor of osteopathic medicine get an MD license?

An MD (Doctor of Medicine) is not a license to practice medicine, it is one of the two doctoral degrees that is recognized in order for licensure as a complete physician & surgeon. The DO (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) is the other doctoral degree that is recognized for licensure. Because the two degrees are exactly equivalent, it would be senseless for a DO to obtain an MD degree (and vice versa), since both MDs and DOs are fully able to obtain license for medical practice.
