How much does an osteopath earn?

Answer 1

Well, the osteopath try to earn as much as the M.D. The osteopath may not earn as much as the MD, due to patient viewing this osteopath person inferior to the MD (medical doctor). Since all USA states acknowledge DO equal to MD, then this should not be a problem or difference. However, the patient may still go to MD or DNP instead of DO, so mostly the DO earn anywhere between the money of an MD and DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice) or NP (Nursing practice). The DO should change it's name to MD or MD, DO to enable the public and media know that a DO is actually a medical doctor.

The dumb and old wrinkled AOA members should pass a resolution changing the DO degree to MD or MD,DO.

Answer 2

The same as any physician.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JstJohn27 is correct above. The Osteopath doe earn as much as the MD Physician. The MD and DO physician are seen as same in USA and earn as much as each other. Although the DO & MD take basically the same classes in Medical School, upon graduation and in society, the MD is seen as the more prestigious, established, smarter, and overall more knowledgable degree and status in society.

It behooves most DOs, thus, to change their old-fashioned historic DO degree to the more elite degree MD. DOs! Change your damn degree from DO to MD,DO!
