Let's everyone take a few minutes to laugh at teh n00b...
When it boils down to it, what's the difference?

...or a Physician who took a small dose of chiro/pt with a side of primary care focus....^^ absolutely fascinating. Thank you heaps. i'm ordering a ton of books in a couple of days anyway, that's definitely another one.
i hope i'm not being deplorable by saying this...but it almost sounds like DOs are chiropractors on steroids?
When it's boiled down there is no difference. In the US, both are licensed by the same state boards to practice medicine equally. There is no specialty or sub-specialty specific to one degree versus the other. Once you're practicing your colleagues will care more about your performance than your degree. The degree is simply a means to an end.
DO's cling to manipulations from when they branched away from MDs in the late 1800's. Otherwise the education is identical.
In the United States, allopathic physicians (MDs) are certified by the American Board of Colon and Rectal Surgery, while osteopathic physicians (DOs), which may still be referred to as proctologists, are certified by the American Osteopathic Board of Proctology.
