Hm, I looked it up on acronym finder and all I got was Digital Orthophoto Map Database! It did say that it was used under science, technology, and medicine though..

In some countries, there is a degree called Doctor of Optometry. Those with this degree are concerned with eyes like the ophthalmologists but they are not medical doctors and cannot perform any surgeries on the eyes. They can fit you with eyeglasses or contact lenses, though.

A DO is just as qualified as a normal Doc.
I know a cardiologist, who had a DO medical degree, however
their teaching in general takes into account the whole body, but it in no way is a hippy science.
They are doctors, and so you will be fine!

Is it together or separate?
DO stands for Doctor of Osteopathy
MD stands for Medical Doctor
The DO/MD things depends on what kind of medical school and where you go to medical school. Both are well trained doctors.

Dr. of osteopathy. The have a more holistic approach and most likely know more about herbs and alternative medicine than an MD knows.

I tried to look it up and all I found was
Digital Orthophoto Map Database
So sorry, I don't think that is what you are looking for, but I couldn't find it... Try asking her next time you see her...
