Learn More Physicians Stay abreast of industry news and connect with other osteopathic physicians at continuing medical education events nationwide or online. Physicians Resources Residents Residents and interns stay connected with their colleagues and have input in the Academy’s governance. Residents Resources Students Chapters at each osteopathic medical school encourage students to get involved in osteopathic manipulative medicine and osteopathic principles and practice. Students Resources What is an Osteopathic physician? Osteopathic physicians (DOs) attend fully licensed medical schools just like MDs, but in addition to the standard medical curriculum, DOs learn how to approach patients differently, treating the whole person rather than the symptoms. In addition, some DOs specialize in osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), using their hands to diagnose, treat and prevent illness or injury. Using OMT, they will move your muscles and joints with a variety of techniques, including stretching, gentle pressure and resistance.
