Gagandeep Watts is not a part of the Physicians and Surgeons Association of BC. In many countries, Manual Osteopaths are not classified as physicians or surgeons. The distinction typically comes from the scope of training and the level of medical authority they hold. Manual Osteopaths generally focus on hands-on techniques to treat musculoskeletal pain and improve bodily function. Their training is often centered on osteopathy, which emphasizes manual manipulation of the body’s muscles and joints. They typically do not have the extensive medical education that physicians or surgeons receive. Physicians are licensed medical professionals who can diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions, prescribe medications, and perform surgeries. In some countries, Osteopathic Doctors are considered physicians with additional training in osteopathic techniques, which include manual manipulation, but they have completed the same medical education and certification as MDs. Surgeons are a specialized subset of physicians who have received additional training and certification in surgical procedures. Therefore, in many healthcare systems, manual osteopaths are recognized as complementary or alternative healthcare providers rather than as licensed physicians or surgeons.
