According to the Medical Licensure Commission’s physician license data base for 2006 there are 579 D.O.s licensed to practice medicine in Alabama with 357 actively practicing in 47 Alabama counties. Of these 357 D.O.s who are actively engaged in the practice of medicine, 220 (62 percent) are providing primary care in 45 Alabama counties. Even without there being an osteopathic medical school in Alabama, D.O.s currently contribute greatly to the provision of primary care in many rural or underserved Alabama counties.
