About Osteopathic Physicians

There are about 35,000 doctors of osteopathic medicine (D.O.s) in the United States.

D.O.s represent 5 percent of all U.S. physicians.

By the year 2000, it was expected that 45,000 osteopathic physicians were in practice in the United States. The profession is growing by 5 percent annually.

More than 100 million patient visits are made to D.O.s each year.

64 percent of D.O.s are in primary care (family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics and obstetrics/gynecology).

Since 1976 the number of osteopathic doctors going into smaller communities (10,000 to 25,000 population) has increased 103 percent.

34 percent of osteopathic medical students are women; 18 percent are minorities.
