Medical Doctors (MDs) and Doctors of Osteopathy
(DOs) are alike in many ways:
|
 |
-
Typically people interested in pursuing an M.D. (Medical Doctor) or
D. O. (Doctor of Osteopathy) have a four year undergraduate degree with
an emphasis on science courses.
-
Both MDs and DOs complete four years of basic medical education.
-
After medical school, and after completing a residency program
(typically two to six years of additional training), MDs and DOs will
have the necessary skills to practice in an area like family medicine.
Some will also enter specialty areas such as psychiatry, surgery or
obstetrics.
-
Both MDs and DOs must pass comparable (or even identical) state
licensing examinations.
-
MDs and DOs practice in fully accredited and licensed hospitals
and medical centers. The MDs and DOs on staff at the Family
Medical Center of LaGrange Memorial have admitting rights to LaGrange
Memorial and Hinsdale Hospitals.
-
The MDs and DOs on staff at the Family Medical Center of
LaGrange Memorial are Board Certified Physicians, members of American
Academy of Family Physicians.
