To be fair an osteopathic doctor is barely even a doctor to begin with... more like a glorified masseuse.
My background: I'm a medical student (MD school), in a combined MD/PhD program. I've completed my PhD and am in the last year of the MD.
I think you might be confusing DO's with chiropractors. Most DO's go through the same licensing exams and residencies as MDs. Some of the other comments are true that MD schools can be more difficult to get in to, but this has to do with their performance in undergraduate education. By the end of their respective programs, MDs and DOs are usually competing for the same residency programs using the same board exams.
I think you are thinking of a chiropractor. DO's are legitimately the same as an MD in practice. My experience working in an office with two MDs and two DOs was the DOs tend to be more personable, and the MDs feel more book smart. But they both see the same patients and do the same job in the same office.
And keep in mind my experience was just with 4 total people, so it could be just that office.
