It is a four year graduate-level degreefor physicians and surgeons. Holders of the D.O. degree are known asosteopathic medical physicians. D.O.s are trained much in the same wayas M.D.s, with the addition of osteopathic manipulative medicinetechniques.In France, Germany,and Switzerland, some osteopathic practitioners areM.D.s who take additional courses in osteopathy after completing theirmedical training.
