Dr. Peter Schmid belongs to the following medical associations: Dr. Peter Schmid - Doctor of OsteopathyWhat is a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) and how is it like a medical doctor (MD)?- Applicants to both D.O. and M.D. medical colleges have four-year undergraduate degrees with an emphasis on scientific courses.
- D.O.s and M.D.s complete four years of basic medical education.
- After medical school, D.O.s and M.D.s obtain graduate medical education through such programs as internships and residencies. This training typically lasts three to six years and prepares D.O.s and M.D.s to practice a specialty.
- Both D.O.s and M.D.s can choose to practice in any specialty area of medicine-such as pediatrics, family practice, psychiatry, surgery or obstetrics.
- D.O.s and M.D.s must pass comparable examinations to obtain state licenses.
- D.O.s and M.D.s both practice in fully accredited and licensed health care facilities.
Doctor of Osteopathy's differ distinctly from MD's because:- D.O.s practice a "whole person" approach to medicine. Instead of just treating specific symptoms or illnesses, they regard your body as an integrated whole.
- Osteopathic physicians focus on preventive health care.
- D.O.s receive extra training in the musculoskeletal system-your body's interconnected system of nerves, muscles and bones that make up two-thirds of your body mass. This training provides osteopathic physicians with a better understanding of the ways that an illness or injury in one part of your body can affect another.
Dr. Schmid currently services Denver, Longmont and Boulder County in Colorado. Please contact our office to schedule a consultation with Dr. Peter Schmid to determine the best treatment for your cosmetic surgical needs.
