What qualification do you need to be a doctor?
Qualifications to be a physician are one of the following medical degrees: DO (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine-offered in the United States only), MD (Doctor of Medicine), MBBS, MBBS/BSc, MBChB, MBBCh, BMBS.
What does MBCHB mean after a doctors name?
. Mb - batchelors in medicine ChB - batchelors in surgery
For a doctor which is the better designation MD or DO?
Both degrees are totally equivalent. DOs have not been around as long as MDs, so the MD is more recognizable. It should be noted that there are other medical degrees around the world as well, such as the MBBS, BMBS, MBChB MBBCh, BMed, MDCM, Dr. MuD, Dr. Med, and Cand.med. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The author above, , is correct. As you can see above their are many titles for worldwide doctors: MBBS, BMBS, MBChB MBBCh, BMed, MDCM, Dr. MuD, Dr. Med, and Cand.med. However, Jstjohn27, when 1 of those doctors above pass all the USMLEs and then do residency in US they take on the title MD. Why? Because everyone knows an MD is a Medical Doctor. These worldwide doctors would not want anything other then MD, certainly not DO. Why? Because most people in US and worldwide, even today, do not know what a DO is. You just don't see House, D.O. on TV, you see House M.D. Thus, it's time for the DO to change it's name to MD,DO or to MD.
What qualification to be a doctor?
A career in medicine offers doctors an opportunity to provide a service to the public through the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses, diseases and infections ~ 13 (or more, depending on any specialities) completes surgery, to patients that actually need it! The first step is gaining acceptance to medical school. Here are key attritibutes that greatly improve the success of a candidate: 3.6+ college gpa, 30+ MCAT score, volunteer/research experience, physician shadowing, individuality/well-roundness, good interviewing skills Each medical school will be looking for slightly different characteristics to fill their class. However, the process is more random than expected. Good grades and test scores are simply not enough. Grades are likely the deciding factor of whether a school will offer a candidate an interview but an interview is far from acceptance. The candidate must present him/herself as unique in order to stand out among the sea of highly qualified applicants. Following acceptance, a future doctor must complete 4 years of immense course work which will include patient interaction. The cost of a medical education ranges from $120-300K. After 4 years, the title 'doctor' is granted. However, before a doctor can actually specialize in a field of medicine, 3-10 years of residency training are required (which pays about $40K/year). I think it goes something like this: 4 years of college, 4 years of med school, and a 3-10 year internship called residency. A 1-2 year fellowship may also be required in order to specialize in a particular area of medicine (such as gastroenterology). college and medical school qualifications - MBBS; MBBS/BSc; MBChB; MBBCh; BMBS - all of which are normally referred to as a "first MB".and spaks
