factors in maintaining good health. Osteopaths use a hands-on approach to
medicine and frequently manipulate or palpate as part of diagnosis and
treatment.

Students should take the most
challenging high school courses (including AP or IB courses) available in

After three
or four years of college, prospective physicians must attend medical

I would want

helping people so I would want to be a Osteopathic Physicians, D.O.
