Imagine you are working for a primary care provider whose credentials are a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) instead of a Medical Doctor (MD). A new patient presents to the office, notices the difference on a business card, and asks you what the difference is

Respuesta :

MD's (medicine doctors) practice allopathic medicine, the classical form of medicine, focused on the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases.

DO's (osteopathic doctors) practice osteopathic medicine which is centered around a more holistic view of medicine in which the focus is on seeing the patient as a “whole person” to reach a diagnosis, rather than treating the symptoms alone.
