"The DO" is a monthly magazine published by the American Osteopathic Association.[1][2] According to its website, the magazine "contains news of the osteopathic profession and its members, articles of professional and personal interest to osteopathic physicians (D.O.) and osteopathic medical students, legislative developments, meeting coverage, clinical updates, and an extensive listing of osteopathic continuing medical education programs."

The title of the magazine refers to the initials of the degree held by osteopathic physicians in the United States, the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree.

The magazine was first published in April of 1927, originally entitled "The Forum of Osteopathy." In September of 1960, it was renamed "The DO."[3]
