They stand for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. Osteopathic medicine is an alternate training route to becoming a physician which emphasizes training in spinal and other bodily adjustments as an element in the treatment of some medical patients. Osteopathic physicians receive their training in osteopathic medical schools rather than schools of medicine. Most or all states recognize physicians who are awarded the D.O. professional degree as the functional and legal equivalent of M.D.s, so osteopathic physicians may practice medicine as well as become specialists exactly like M.D.s do.
