This National Doctors’ Day, we want to make it easy for you to not only hire a doctor, but find the best possible candidate for your open position. That’s why we’re excited to share our newest infographic, which details the differences between doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs) and allopathic physicians or medical doctors (MDs).

Believe it or not, two letters could mean the difference between a good fit and a great one. Do you know what varies between these two medical professionals? Which one will you hire? To learn more, check out our infographic below! Then join us in celebrating doctors everywhere by sharing it with your colleagues.

Thanks for helping Barton Associates support both these skilled groups of professionals! We hope you’ll take the opportunity to thank the doctors you hire — today and every day.

MD or DO? Let us help you decide! Request coverage and speak with an account manager today.
