Duties and Responsibilities: Doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs) often treat their patients by manipulating the musculoskeletal system, which includes nerves, bones, joints and muscles. ... DOs have the same responsibilities and privileges of MDs, such as prescribing medicine, performing surgery and diagnosing illness.

Salary: $162,908 to $221,196

Education: Graduates of osteopathic medical programs continue their training by enrolling in an internship program. The internship is followed by a residency program in a specialty area such as family or pediatric medicine.

Demands or needs:  by 2025, the gap between our physician supply and demand will range from 34,500 to 88,000.
