Hi,
APN-BC = Advanced Practical Nurse, Board Certified
see http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Certification=Advanced_Practice_Nurse,_Board_Certified_(APN-BC)/Salary

Psy. D. = Doctor of Pschology
see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psy.D.

I don't know of a list of such things, but you can find most things if you search with Google.

Best wishes, Clive

Please read through this thread. This question was answered in page 1, as well as in pages 14, 15 and 16 ( and maybe in other pages, too!).

According to Wikipedia:
Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O. or DO) is an academic degree offered in the United States. It is a graduate-level first professional degree for physicians and surgeons, requiring four years to complete. Holders of the D.O. degree are known as osteopathic medical physicians. D.O.s are trained much in the same way as M.D.s, with the addition of osteopathic manipulative medicine techniques.
In the United States, the D.O. and the M.D. are the only two degrees permitting licensure as medical physicians. D.O and M.D. physicians have similar training (both requiring four years of training in the basic and clinical sciences and the successful completion of licensing exams).

Osteopathic medical physicians receive additional training in Osteopathic Manual Manipulation. Although U.S. osteopathic medical physicians currently may obtain licensure in 47 countries, osteopathic curricula in countries other than the United States differ. In some countries outside of the United States, D.O.s are known as "osteopaths" and while their scope of practice includes some conventional medical therapies, they rely more exclusively on osteopathic manipulative medicine and other alternative medical modalities.
