MD versus MBBS

MD or MBBS?
What is MBBS?
MBBS is an undergraduate, first professional degree in medicine. MBBS courses are designed to train students in all fields of medicine.
The courses include Human Anatomy, Human Physiology, Applied Medical Biochemistry, Applied Pharmacology, Human Pathology, Human Microbiology, Otolaryngology, Dermatology, Paediatrics and even General Surgery. Although it varies between countries, a MBBS degree is typically completed in 4 and a half years. In most countries, the student is required to complete an internship before being awarded the degree in order to demonstrate enough exposure. This is so that the students have a qualified amount of practical exposure.
What is MD?
MD is a Masters/Postgraduate degree. A candidate becomes eligible for MD only after successfully completing a MBBS degree. Some countries consider a MD degree a professional doctorate for surgeons and physicians (i.e. U.S. A and Philippines). Others, consider it a research degree equal in value to a Ph. D.
Therefore, a student completes a MD after the MBBS to obtain training on a specialization of choice. MD specializations include Paediatrics, Gynaecology, Obstetrics, Ophthalmology, Dentistry and the like. An MD is expected to gradually make the student a specialist in the Medical branch of choice.
