Osteopathic Medicine is a minority branch of medicine, which is separate but equal. It has accreditation powers for osteopathic medical schools, osteopathic graduate medical education, board certifications, hospitals and health organizations. About 14 states in the USA still maintain state osteopathic medical boards, while other states and territories have composite medical boards. As the U.S. is a democracy, it respects the majority rule while protecting and preserving the minority rights. Therefore, D.O.s have better opportunity to serve in the public arena even though D.O.s represent only 7% of physician workforce. For instance, there are 4,000 D.O.s out of 57,000 licensed physicians in TX, 3 D.O.s and 9 M.D.s serve on the Texas Medical Boards.
The following list of D.O.s serving in organized medicine from AOA source.
