Yes.
The D.O. and the M.D. are equals in medicine.
The main differences now is that some M.D.s use osteopathic manipulative medicine in their practice now. It is ironic that now MDs use osteopathic manipulative treatment now but DOs do not. DOs mainly use Evidenced-based medicine now, prescribe meds, perform surgeries, and so on, but do no use manipulative medicine.
Leave manipulations now to the MDs, and medication prescriptions and surgeries to the DOs. MDs are too holistic now and DOs are too evidenced-based medicine now.
DOs and MDs are professionally equivalent.
The above author is correct that there are continuing education programs for MDs to learn some basic manipulative techniques, but they are the minority of physicians performing manipulation.
