MD/DO Licensing FAQs

Both are fully licensed and qualified to practice in all 50 states, but the training and approach may differ slightly.
How does someone become licensed as an MD or DO?
To become an MD or DO, one must complete medical school, pass the required exams, and fulfill residency training. The licensing process includes submitting an application, passing exams like USMLE (MD) or COMLEX (DO), and completing state-specific requirements.
What are the educational requirements for MD and DO licensing?
Both MDs and DOs must complete a bachelor’s degree, attend four years of medical school, and undergo residency training. However, DOs receive additional training in osteopathic manipulative medicine as part of their education.
How long does it take to get licensed as an MD or DO?
It typically takes 7-10 years to become fully licensed as an MD or DO, including undergraduate education, medical school, and residency. The exact time frame may vary based on residency length and state-specific licensing processes.
What exams are required for MD and DO licensing?
MDs must pass the USMLE exams, while DOs are required to pass the COMLEX exams. Both licensing boards also require state-specific exams or assessments for final licensure approval.
What documents are needed to apply for MD/DO licensing?
Applicants need to submit proof of education, including medical school transcripts, exam scores, and proof of clinical experience. Additionally, background checks, professional references, and sometimes a personal statement are required by some state boards.
How do MD and DO licenses differ in terms of scope of practice?
MD and DO licenses provide the same scope of practice, allowing for prescribing medications, performing surgery, and providing medical care. The primary difference lies in the approach to care, with DOs emphasizing osteopathic techniques in addition to standard medical practices.
