HOST: Steven has a question for Dr. Michael White:
What is the difference between and MD and a DO?
DO stands for a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine
So it is simply a different philosophy
in how you treat a patient. It's a belief that the body has an inherent property
of being able to, in a way, heal itself in that
if we restore the body to its original
state that people can heal quicker. What's that the practical difference
between the two. I think that
the DOs are a little bit more willing to talk to people, they're little bit more willing
to touch a person because we actually have to learn manipulative medicine
DO school involves the same amount of years.
It involves the same amount of pre-medical training, and it also requires
a residency following osteopathic medical training.
