What’s the Difference Between a DO and an MD?
Let’s start with some definitions.
DO: Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine
- Licensed physicians trained in “whole body” wellness and treatment techniques in muscle and joint manipulation in addition to mainstream treatments.
Allopathy Vs. Osteopathy
In the US, there are two main branches of registered physician:
- Allopathy: In this path, doctors train in modern, sometimes referred to as “Western”, medicine to treat symptoms and diseases. Doctors who train in this branch are licensed as Doctors of Medicine (MD)
- Osteopathy: These doctors have the same education and licensing exams as MDs but have additional training in muscle and joint manipulation. Doctors who train in Osteopathy are licensed as Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) and have the same residency training and choices as MDs.
COMLEX vs. USMLE
To begin practicing medicine, DOs and MDs must take specific licensing exams:
- COMLEX-USA: This test assesses osteopathic medical knowledge in addition to allopathic medical knowledge in order to become licensed as a DO in the USA.
- USMLE: This test assesses allopathic medical knowledge and is required to become licensed as an MD.
NRMP: “National Resident Matching Program®”
- The organization that administers the “Match.” In the match, the NRMP pairs residency applicants with a residency program.
Note that prior to the 2020 Match, DOs had access to a “pool” of residencies reserved for which only they could match. The current system has merged DO and MD residencies so that every applicant has the same “chance” for matching in their chosen specialty.

Emergency Medicine is DO-Friendly
Looking at the % of spots filled by DOs in the 2022 Match, we can see emergency medicine was DO-friendly, it was among the top three specialties with 25% of positions filled by DOs:
In addition, the match rate for DOs in emergency medicine is very high, at 95%. This shows the DOs have a great chance of being accepted in the 2022 Match:

The Most DO-Friendly Emergency Medicine Residency Programs
Emergency medicine is not only a DO-friendly specialty but it also has a high % of DOs in residency programs. For example, seven emergency medicine residencies in the most recent GME census had DO percentages of 100%(Beaumont, Kettering, University Hospitals Community Consortium, Oklahoma state((Tulsa, Norman, and Lawton)), and Integris).
Here is a list of the most (and least) competitive emergency medicine programs for DOs. It includes data from the most recent National GME Census Survey. Percentages are of all residents in the program in 2020.
