      So the White House physician isn’t an M.D. Good Lord. Someone sneeze on me now and just get it over with. https://twitter.com/HuffPost/status/1238785019386134528 …pic.twitter.com/647BUJ25H4

      Betcha the first patient, who fancies people with the best degrees (until they tell him he doesn’t know what he’s talking about), doesn’t know, and doesn’t know what a DO is.

      Since the 1920s until 2018, and for virtually all of the rest of the history of the presidency, the White House physician has held a Doctor of Medicine degree.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physician_to_the_President#White_House_physicians …

      President Obama’s personal physician not only was an an MD, but had an M.P.H. from—get this—the Johns Hopkins *Bloomberg* School of Public Health, which happens to be the best graduate school of public health in the country (Harvard’s being no. 2). http://healthministries.com/people/jeffrey_kuhlman …

      George Conway Retweeted Jason E.

      There’s indeed nothing wrong being a DO, but should *this* job be held by one? Show me a top 25, or even a top 50, university that offers an DO instead of an MD. Is there a single one? In the top 100 there’s Michigan State, but I think that’s it. https://twitter.com/jaedog105/status/1238824843308675073?s=21 …https://twitter.com/JaeDog105/status/1238824843308675073 …

      My doctor is a DO. There’s nothing wrong with a DO degree, George.

      Given the shortage of MDs, I’m perfectly happy that there’s some alternative degree that gives people the opportunity to provide necessary medical services to the public. But that doesn’t mean that the White House physician shouldn’t be a top MD.

      In the US, DOs undergo the same postgraduate training as MDs. They are the same. I realize this isn’t true in Europe, but it is here. 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

          So, what's the distinction? Other than the title?

          D0’s are required 200 more hours of study and practice more on the holistic side of medicine.
