The minimum education to obtain a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree (DO) is four years of medical school. Please note that just because a physician finishes medical school, does not mean they are licensed, this applies to both DOs and MDs. Always check to make sure that your physician has graduated from an accredited medical school, is licensed, and is board certified in their medical specialty. A simple online search will usually give you the information you need.
