View the full response<\/a> sent to producers of The View.<\/p>\n\u201cComments implying that DOs are not medical doctors could not be further from the truth,\u201d reads the AOA response to producers of the show, going on to say, \u201cDOs currently make up approximately 11% of the physician workforce and 25% of all U.S. medical students. Our profession has grown 63% in the past decade and nearly 300% in the last 30 years. Osteopathic physicians hold positions in our nation\u2019s top government, academic and medical institutions and are responsible for the health and well-being of millions, including our nation\u2019s astronauts, President Biden and former President Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to correcting the inaccurate statement, President Monka extended the offer to appear as a guest on a future episode of \u201cThe View,\u201d with the goal of ensuring viewers are presented with a more accurate impression of DOs and the care they provide to patients across the nation.<\/p>\n
