ALERT: Understand and identify the unlicensed practice of “osteopathy” In the U.S., only licensed osteopathic physicians (DOs) and allopathic physicians (MDs) with osteopathic training are qualified to deliver osteopathic medical care to patients. However, some individuals trained in non-medical "osteopathy" programs outside the U.S. are using osteopathic terminology to market healthcare services despite lacking medical licensure. This can create confusion for patients and put them at risk. The AOA is working to advocate for and promote recognition of the distinctiveness of osteopathic medical training. Let’s work together.
