Osteopathic Doctors (ODs) are licensed healthcare professionals who provide a range of medical services, including diagnosis, treatment, and preventive care. They are trained to use a holistic approach to patient care, considering the whole person, not just the symptoms of illness. ODs are also trained in osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM). OMM is a hands-on approach to diagnosis and treatment that uses the body’s own natural healing abilities.
Educational Requirements
To become an OD, you must complete a four-year osteopathic medical school program. These programs include both classroom instruction and clinical rotations. After completing medical school, you must pass the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX-USA) to become licensed.
