Can you be a Doctor of Medicine and a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine?

Answer : You could be, but there is really no reason to do that. Because, in the U.S. , there are these two equivalent doctoral degrees that can lead to licensure as a physician: The M.D.(Doctor of Medicine) degree and the D.O.(Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) degree. Since holders of either degree can be licensed to practice in any specialty, prescribe drugs, perform surgery, etc., there would be no reason to practice medicine as both an M.D. And a D.O., although there are no laws that would disallow it More information : The training for these professions, with the different medical degrees of M.D. And D.O. , is given in two distinct types of medical schools.

The basic training is essentially equivalent, except the D.O. Programs include more training in the musculo-skeletal system in regards to different manual manipulation procedures, similar to some things that Chiropractors do.M.D. Programs do not include the extra semesters of this particular training. And, once a graduate of either type of training passes the health licensing board exams in the US state in which they intend to practice medicine, the state medical practice acts that describe what they can legally do under that licensing, allow essentially the same services to be provided to patients by either type of licensed doctor Both D.O. S and M.D. S can receive board certification in any specialty area of medicine, e.g. , oncology, orthopedic surgery, family practice, pediatrics, etc. , and either can apply for and receive "board certification" in their area of specialty or subspecialty, when they meet the requirements for membership in the specific "board". A medical "board" is a peer organization that doctors join by meeting the criteria for membership, which demonstrates their competency in that specialty.

The specific criteria varies depending on the specialty area. Board certified doctors must also meet the specific board's continuing education requirements to maintain certification. One of the more well known and respected medical specialty boards is the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS).

Both an M.D. And a D.O. Can be board certified in a specific area of specialty practice by the ABMS, when they meet the membership requirements For more information, visit the sites listed in the related links section below.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
