    D.O. stands for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine.

    It is a doctorate for doctors in the United States. People with this degree have the same rights and priviledges as those with an M.D.

    A D.O. degree has a similar curriculum as an M.D. degree but it adds a section on osteopathic manipulative techniques.
