Définition

  • Modern medicine, as practiced in the United States, has evolved to include licensure for the unlimited scope and practice of medicine to two types of recognized physicians, allopathic (MD) and osteopathic (DO). The terms allopath, allopathy, and allopathic are used to describe a system of medicine in which the use of drugs is directed to producing effects in the body that will directly oppose and so alleviate the symptoms of a disease.
