Is this statement true about CCOM?

[Bevo]

"It also fought a broader battle to win rights for osteopathic physicians within the medical community, so that osteopathic physicians would have the same opportunities as their allopathic colleagues."

Im not sure it is right, its been some time since I have read my Gevitz book and all I could piece together from the index was something about CCOM's problem gettin licensure in Illionois, but could get licensure in 35 other states.

I'm not exactly sure what your question is, but D.O.'s have had full practice rights in Illinois since 1955, nearly 50 years.

well Im working on my CCOM secondary. Just want to make sure the statement I wrote is true.

I know they have licensure. It was about fighting to get licensure prior to 1955. Something about Illinois law that prevented them from attaining it.
