How study osteopath?

Answer 1

Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) and Doctors of Medicine (M.D.) are both full-fledged physicians trained in the United States who attend four years of medical school and are eligible to specialize in any field of medicine after residency training. Therefore, to become a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, you must finish four years of medical school.

Additionally, both DOs and MDs may sit for board certification examinations and each type of physician has the same legal and medical responsibilities such as prescribing medications, performing surgery, working in the hospital, medical diagnosis, etc. The difference between a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine and Doctor of Medicine is a slight one-Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, in addition to the standard medical curriculum, receive 300-500 hours of instruction in a form of manual therapy known as osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM). This form of therapy is another approach sometimes used by DOs to address a patient's musculoskeletal issues.

Answer 2

To study to be osteopath (in the U.S.), it must take the MCAT and 3-4 years college scoring high in both; then it may go to medical school at an osteopathic medical school.

Upon completion of medical school, the osteopath can practice medicine, usually after completion of a 3-4 year residency. This osteopath can do everything the M.D. or medical doctor can do but most of the banal public does not know this. Thus, the D.O. should change it's name to M.D. or M.D., D.O. to allow the public know it is indeed a Medical Doctor.
