Are DOs allowed to practice outside the US?

Members do not see this ad.

I'm considering becoming a DO, but I don't think I'd care to if my training in the US would not allow me the freedom to practice in the US and also in Asian and African countries one day.

Anyone know how DOs are treated (if they exist) in Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, the Arabian countries, Egypt, Libya, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, etc. compared to MDs?

Maybe that info on international practice rights deserves a sticky? It seems there have been a lot of questions about it lately.

It is on one of the stickies. It is though in a way that it can be missed if not paying attention.

Hmmm, I could separate that one and make it it's own sticky. Gotta make sure there aren't too many stickies though. What do people think - is it important enough to merit a separate sticky?

or maybe just add international practice rights to the title of the sticky it's already in?

Maybe put it at the beginning of the title?
