MD does NOT stand for medical doctor, although that's the common interpretation. MD is a Latin abbreviation, Medicinae Doctor. Its English translation is Doctor of Medicine. Similarly, a PhD stands for Philosophiae Doctor, or Doctor of Philosophy, not Philosophical Doctor. We don't use Latin much anymore, so we assign the letters a reasonable English equivalent medical doctor.
The abbreviation D.O. stands for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. This medical profession was founded in the mid-1800s by Andrew Taylor Still. In the 21st century now, D.O.s re â¦ ceive training which is equivalent to the training that Doctors of Medicine (M.D.) receive.owever, for most purposes the training and licensure are equal to one another. A difference in practice is that a DO (aka Doctor of Osteopathy) is also trained in osteopathic medicine which includes theories and procedures of musculoskeletal manipulation in which Medical Doctors are not specifically trained.
