Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) educated in the United States should not be confused with non-physician osteopaths. There are no colleges of osteopathic medicine in Canada. Only those graduates of the US-Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine are eligible for licensure to practise osteopathy and Osteopathic Medicine in Canada. US-trained DOs may practise in Canada as fully licensed physicians. The authority for licensure of American osteopathic graduates lies with the provincial Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
