DO stands for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. American trained physicians earn either an MD or DO depending on the school they choose. The DO degree is exclusively American while the MD is available from Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. European schools of medicine grant the MB degree which is not recognized in the US and is changed to MD upon licensure.
