I didn't know too much about how medical school works but recently I found out there are distinctions given to MDs when they graduate: AOA.

However, is there the same or similar kind of mark for someone graduating with a DO degree?

To my knowledge, AOA (the medical honor society not the american osteopathic assn) is only given to MDs. It is give during the junior year and during the senior year (junior and senior AOA)

I think there is an osteo equivalent in Sigma Sigma Phi
