The DO is trained much in the same way as an MD, and they are both equivalent degrees. However, the DO places emphasis on the musculoskeletal system, hence the name-osteo refers to bone and path refers to disease. Osteopaths also believe strongly in the healing power of the body and do their best to facilitate that strength.
