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 …

@sapinker, it might behoove you to know that, as of July 1, 2020, MD and DO residencies are accredited and overseen by the same council.https://www.sgu.edu/blog/medical/do-md-merger-explained/ …2 replies 3 retweets 80 likesShow this thread -
Also, nice of Pinker to limit who can reply, leaving my only option to quote-Tweet him to tell him how ignorant he is about this.

I might email Pinker as editor of @ScienceBasedMed and point out his misuse of my colleague @SciPeds blog post.
