MD and DO physicians complete similar residency programs in hospitals, can be licensed in all 50 states, and have rights and responsibilities common to physicians. Historically, MDs and DOs significantly differed in their approach to medical treatment. Allopathic medicine, practiced by MDs, was primarily based on scientific practices. In contrast, osteopathic medicine was founded in the mid-nineteenth century on the premise of healing the body through osteopathic musculoskeletal manipulation.
