When unlicensed individuals present themselves as "osteopaths" in ways that suggest physician-level training, patients may be deceived about a provider's qualifications and the absence of protections afforded by medical licensure. The American Osteopathic Association is working to protect patients from being misled. Help us to ensure patients are choosing a licensed DO. There’s a difference in being a DO, and we’re proud to help others experience it! #DOProud
