This law says graduates of osteopathic medical schools can be appointed as commissioned medical officers in the Public Health Service, if their school's graduates can get licensed to practice in most states, or if the school is approved by a body the Secretary accepts.

This is a single unlabeled rule. Graduates of colleges of osteopathy are eligible to be appointed as commissioned medical officers in the Public Health Service, subject to this Act's other rules, if graduates of their college can get licensed to practice medicine or osteopathy in most U.S. states, or if the college is approved by an organization the Secretary accepts for that purpose.
