	Misleading Claims By the American Osteopathic Association
		Stephen Barrett, M.D. Osteopathic physicians (D.O.s) are the legal equivalents and, in most cases, are the professional equivalents of medical doctors (M.D.s).
		Osteopathic medical schools place more emphasis than medical schools do on musculoskeletal problems, but otherwise their teachings are similar.
		If the amount of time medical and osteopathic students spend in school is similar—and I suspect that it is—"adding" 400 hours of something would mean subtracting 400 hours of something else.
