Hi Gucci,

well, both of them have different residency positions. If one passes COMLEX exams, then he/she has to go for DO degree and one who passes USMLE, then he/she has to go for MD degree. Basically both are MD s but becoz the earlier gave COMLEX, he/she will be awarded with DO degree. I hope this answers your questions.

Regards,
Dr Baig.
