The American Osteopathic Association, or AOA, defines osteopathic medicine as a complete system of medical care with a philosophy that combines the needs of the patient with the current practice of medicine, surgery and obstetrics; that emphasizes the concept of body unity, the interrelationship between structure and function; and that has an appreciation of the body’s ability to heal itself.
A Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, or DO, is an osteopathic physician who has graduated from a COCA-accredited institution and is a fully qualified physician, educated within the context of a distinct patient-centered, health-oriented philosophy, trained to combine specialized diagnostic and therapeutic hands-on skills, also known as Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment, with the latest advances in the science and practice of medicine to offer comprehensive healthcare to patients.
