You do not earn a doctoral degree in a medical specialty. You earn your doctorate in medicine, then you receive additional training in your speciatly. For instance, if you wanted to specialized in Internal medicine, you would obtain your undergraduate degree, apply for medical school and graduate. At this point, you have your doctorate in medicine (or osteopathic medicine, depending on the medical school of your choosing). However, as a doctor, you cannot legally obtain a license to practice without additional training after you complete your doctorate. So you must apply for residency (in this case, in Internal medicine) and complete that training, which lasts 3 years. So, all told, after high school, you receive this much additional training: College - at least 4 years
Medical school - 4 years
Residency (Internal medicine) - 3 years
---------------------------------------------------
Add them up - 11 years Other residencies are longer - for instance, surgical residencies are at least 5 years after medical school, so you base of 11 years after high school only goes up, depending on the training you choose.

Why doesn't an osteopathic physician have an MD degree since he is a doctor who practices medicine?
The MD and DO degrees are earned after graduate education at a medical school. Since MDs go to a allopathic medical school they earn a MD degree, while osteopathic physicians go to a osteopathic medical school and earn a DO, which is a Doctorate in Osteopathic Medicine. The MD and DO degrees are equivalent doctoral degrees, both of which are recognizable for licensure as a physician/surgeon. One can compare this concept to the fact that there are also equivalent degrees in other fields: Dentistry: DDS and DMD are the two doctoral degrees recognized for licensure as a dentist. Veterinary Medicine: DVM and VMD are the two degrees recognized.
