Perhaps you have heard of AT Still? Its not just a school in Missouri. ... Ha all kidding aside. There was a time when MD and DO where very different but not anymore. DO still retains a bit of its past (OMT) but for the grand majority of DO they do the exact same job the exact same way. Really the only big difference between the two is resources. With most MD schools being older and having way more money most can hire stronger staff but are way slower to change a problem. ( Hanging out at Tulane is saw this a lot) DO school are much more adventurous in there education and ready to try new things, sometimes this is good some times not so much. I have worked as a scribe for MDs and DOs in multiple fields ( EM, FM, IM, MedOnc, Peds) and the only things I ever saw they did different in philosophy was in claims only. At the end of the day what mattered most was what is the code for the procedure, can I bill for it and how long am I going to spend doing these procedure. While that may seem cold, they were all greatly moved by their patients and they cared what happened to them.
