How about “similar” training then? I’m attending an Osteopathic Medical School as we speak, so I think I’d know.
Since you commented, what are the specific differences between MD and DO training?
What do you mean by “more related on musculo-skeletal medicine” outside of the manipulation I mentioned? Humor me.

DOs are more related on musculo-skeletal medicine…they don’t have the “same training’ as MDs.

This is a little off. Yes, DOs have the same training as MDs and they learn manipulation, but they don’t use natural foods or natural cures more than an MD.
That would vary on a personal preference to each individual Dr.. Of course, both types of physicians use their eyes, ears, and hands. Both types of physicians are also taught to educate their patients to take a preventative approach to illness.
