Best Answer

A DO is a certified medical doctor, and can do everything an MD does, only they are given extra training in osteopathic medicine. If a DO wanted to pursue an MD degree they would have to be accepted, enroll and complete training in an allopathic medical school.

This, however, would be completely stupid. It would be like someone with a BA in psychology going back to school to get a BS in psychology. It would accomplish nothing more than turning a physician into........(wait for it)........a physician.
