You have no idea what you are talking about, and, sadly, Dr. Barrett, as much as I admire his history and work, is far behind the times on this. In the US, DOs are equivalent to MDs. They do the same postgraduate residencies. They are no more likely to be quacks than MDs. https://twitter.com/sapinker/status/1312975755815591936 …

Are there DOs who are quacks? Of course. (
@mercola and@DrButtar come immediately to mind.) However, I can name more MDs who are quacks (probably because there are more MDs than DOs); e.g.,@kellybroganmd, Stanislaw Burzynski,@DrOz, etc.Show this thread -
To reiterate, there's no evidence that, in the US at least, DOs are more prone to be quacks or incompetent than MDs.

"...I have found no difference in the overall quality of the training these students have received, and some of the very best clinicians I have ever worked with have been DOs..."

My primary doctor is a DO and he is amazing; he has saved my life, my husband, and his coworker.

And given "complimentary medicine" there's probably less of a gap then there should be.

I can confirm-- I teach at a DO school using the same textbooks on medical physiology that I've used to teach at MD school. Identical content. COMLEX is functionally the same as USMLE. Merged residency, same training, and nearly all DOs stick with evidence based practice.
