Difference Between MBBS and MD
There has been a lot of talk about the basic differences between the two chiseled degrees in the field of medical science, MBBS and MD. MBBS is Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery, whereas MD stands for Doctor of Medicine. Although they both are the degrees of the Medical science, different countries interpret the same in their own way.
In United States
In United States, there is no such degree called MBBS and the first professional medical degree there is known as MD or Doctor Of Medicine. But there is a catch, before you get your Medical Degree, you’d need to complete a compulsory 4 year of Undergraduate degree. Once done, you will have to sit for MCAT, Medical College Admission Test. You can have an MD degree in another 4 years. That is quite a lot of time, but you’d be ready to take on to the nuances of medicine and its complexity.
In India and United Kingdom:
In India and United Kingdom, MD is an altogether advanced academic degree in the field of medical science very similar to a doctorate or a PhD. In India, if you start from scratch, an MBBS degree denotes the kind of training that you’d need to be approved as a licensed physician, whereas an MD degree represents a higher post-graduate degree, signifying specialty training.
Medical graduates who are holding an MBBS degree are only eligible for an MD degree. After successfully completing a 3 year study and the respective exam, both practical and theoretical; that a candidate would be conferred with the MD degree!
