What then is osteopathic medicine?
In recent times, osteopathic medicine can be viewed as allopathic medicine but with a greater emphasis on musculoskeletal adjustments and on a healthy lifestyle. There are about 30 osteopathic medical schools in the U.S. It is generally considered to be a little easier to gain admission to a DO school than an MD school, but one must have a letter from a DO as part of the admission package.
