In the U.S., there are two doctoral degrees that can lead to licensure as as physician. These degrees are the D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) and the M.D. (Doctor of Medicine). Foreign physicians with other medical degrees (such as the MBBS) may also be able to obtain licensure in the U.S. They typically use the M.D. designation for practical purposes.
