| Core Tip |
Despite the growing number of osteopathic physicians within the United States workforce, the degree remains under recognized compared to the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree. This is partly due to degree misrepresentation and the lack of osteopathic physicians in prominent leadership positions within the United States healthcare system compared to their MD counterparts. Addressing these factors may ultimately improve awareness. |
