Hello,
I'm inquiring today if there is any information about a DO using an MD school for an MD degree for practice rights outside the US. After searching online on various European country's websites, it appears that the British DO is ONLY Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine/Technique approved practice rights in some countries. That's unfortunate for us US DO students who complete an ACGME approved residency looking to expand our horizon and work outside of the US in the distant future.
Have any of you heard of such a program or idea? I'm interested in Netherlands, Switzerland, and Australia. Australia just got approved for DOs but the other two are currently not allowing US DOs as far as their websites say that we have or are in the process of gaining practice rights.
Thus, I'm stuck searching for an alternative. One may NOT practice from a US facility in another country and be paid by CMS, from what I can see and thus this limits even the possibility of working remotely for a future practice that I join. If you know of any work arounds or things in the works, please share them here.
Thank you.
