A doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO) is a physician licensed to practice medicine, perform surgery, and prescribe medication. Like MDs, DOs complete four years of medical school and can choose to practice in any specialty of medicine. However, osteopathic physicians receive an additional 300 - 500 hours in the study of the body's musculoskeletal system.
MD stands for Doctor of Medicine. It is a medical degree that is earned by completing a bachelor's degree and graduating from medical school, both of which take four years. After graduating, doctors must complete a residency, which can take three to seven years, and pass a national licensing exam.
