How much schooling does a D.O....?

Premed - 4 years\nMed (DO) school : 4 years\nFP residency : 3 years\n\nThere are a lot of good DO schools.\n\nTo get into any graduate med school (DO/MD), you have to do VERY well in your premed courses. For MD school, you need the MCAT exam, I'm not sure about DO school.

Becoming any type of doctor takes a lot of work. Normally you will do about 12 years of schooling, starting at regular 4-year college/university. Doctors don't take home a wage, but a salary and depending where you're at in your career will depend. But most doctors make good money, but there are long hours.

Doctor of Medicine (M.D., from the Latin Medicinæ Doctor) is an academic degree. The nature of the degree varies in different countries, from being an entry-level professional degree to being a higher doctoral research degree.\n\nIn Canada and the United States, the M.D. is one of two basic medical degrees required to practice medicine. The other being the D.O. degree (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine). Medical degrees are professional doctorates and are distinct from a research doctorate (Doctor of Philosophy, or Ph.D.), which requires a graduate thesis (doctoral dissertation) – the M.D. and Ph.D. in medicine are entirely separate.\n\nAccredited medical schools almost always require a previous bachelor's degree. The M.D. is typically earned in four years. At most medical schools, the first two years primarily involve classroom instruction in both lecture and laboratory formats while the final two years are comprised of a series of clerkships in clinical departments such as family practice, surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, and obstetrics/gynecology. Following the awarding of the M.D., physicians who wish to practice in the United States are encouraged or required to undergo additional training in the form of a residency. Depending upon the physician's chosen field, residencies involve an additional 3 to 7 years of training after obtaining the M.D.\n\nIt is the entry-level medical degree equivalent in most professional respects to the Bachelors of Medicine and Surgery awarded in Commonwealth countries (excluding Canada).

In the City of New York anyone wanting to be a Police Officer must have at least 60 college credits in order to qualify for the job.  Each promotional level requires a written test and more college credits.  A Lt. must have a four year degree.  Any rank above Capt. i.e. Insp. Deputy Chief, etc. needs a Masters.  The education level is present in the NYPD but in order to work with Youth you must display the ability to deal with them.  The question is not one of education but rather the ability to separate the hardened criminals from those who are on the edge and can be turned around.  I have spent the last 12 years of my career with NYPD in the School Safety Division as a Commander.  There is such a thing as a "Bad Kid", and there is such a thing as a kid getting mixed up with a bad crowd.  Make no mistake.  The Bad Ones are murderers and drug dealers i.e. Bloods, Crips and the like.  Saving the ones on the edge is the real talent needed in Law Enforcement.

Six years. No.\nI have gone back to school three times. Still waiting to get a good job. No matter how much it matter to have smarts, I'm sorry to say it's mostly a political game of 'who you know'.

In the USA you have to attend a cosmetology school and before you can get your license you have to have 1000 hours of combined classroom and experience.

That's quite a wishlist... It's like saying you want to know everything about chemistry... I suggest you get a textbook for an introduction to OD class and start there. There will be a ton of references in it to other books and you can start on the path to knowledge.

On a job application, etc. when the number of years of school is asked, a bachelor's degree is normally 16 yrs.... 12 yrs of primary education and 4 yrs of secondary education.  How long you took to get it is irrelevant as it is considered a 4 yr degree.\n\nSue

Doctor Of Osteopathy\n doctor of osteopathic medicine (D.O.) is a physician licensed to perform surgery and prescribe medication. Like an M.D., an osteopath completes 4 years of medical school and can choose to practice in any specialty of medicine. However, osteopaths receive an additional 300 to 500 hours in the study of hands-on manual medicine and the body's musculoskeletal system.\n\nOsteopathic medicine is dedicated to treating and healing the entire patient as a whole, rather than focusing on one system or body part. An osteopath will often use a treatment method called manipulation -- a hands-on approach to assure that the body is moving freely. This free motion ensures that all of your body's natural healing systems are free to work unhindered.\n\nOsteopaths hold to the principle that a patient's history of illness and physical trauma are written into the body's structure. The osteopath's highly developed sense of touch allows the physician to palpate (feel) the patient's "living anatomy" (the flow of fluids, motion and texture of tissues, and structural make-up).\n\nThe osteopath's job is to "set" the body to heal itself. To do so, the Osteopath gently applies a precise amount of force to promote healthy movement of tissues, eliminate abnormal movements, and release compressed bones and joints. In addition, the areas being treated require proper positioning to assist the body's ability to regain normal tissue function. This process is called osteopathic manual medicine (OMM) or osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT).\n\nOver the years, the gap between "conventional" medicine and osteopathic medicine has narrowed, as M.D.s have embraced many of the premises of osteopathic medicine (such as recognizing the impact of stress on the immune system or posture on various body systems). In addition, D.O.s have incorporated the diagnostic and treatment techniques common to conventional medicine.\n\nDoctors of osteopathic medicine may be found in nearly any health care setting, from community clinics and private practices to academic medical centers.\n\nLike M.D.s, osteopaths are licensed at the state level. Osteopaths who wish to specialize may become "board certified" (in much the same manner as M.D.s) by completing a 2- to 6-year residency within the specialty area and passing the board certification exams

It will take 4 years of undergraduate work taking classes that include biology, chemistry, physics, anatomy, etc...Then you have to be accepted to a medical school for another 4 years.  At the end of your schooling you'll spend another 3 years in residency as a physician under other doctors being certified as a pediatrician.  This is in the US anyways.
