Osteopathic medical school is a type of medical school in the United States where a student attends medical school for four years and, upon completion, earns the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree. Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, like Doctors of Medicine (M.D.) are complete physicians allowed to apply for licensure, attend residency to specialize in any medical field, sit for board certification examinations, etc. The difference is that in addition to the standard medical curriculum shared with those who go to M.D. medical school, students at an osteopathic medical school also receive 300-500 hours of additional training in a form of manual therapy known as osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM).
