A while back there was a rather useless thread where people kept bashing the American Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree (D.O.). The comments were mainly because of ignorance of the profession, especially from people outside the US.
I happened to mention that someone with a D.O. degree could practice medicine in Ontario and people essentially laughed at me and told me no way. At the time I couldn't find proof, but finally the AOA website has re-posted the Canadian practice information. (see www.aoa.net)
There are three ways that a Canadian that studies in the US and gets a D.O. can have full practice rights in Ontario (and yes, that's the entire province, not the "cold" parts where nobody wants to go to).
Just one more option for Canadians that live and wish to practice medicine in Ontario.
