DO stands for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. American trained physicians earn either an MD or DO depending on the school they choose. The DO degree is exclusively American while the MD is available from Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. European schools of medicine grant the MB degree which is not recognized in the US and is changed to MD upon licensure.
Yes, a MB ChB (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) is a primary medical degree awarded to medical students in various countries, and it qualifies them to practice medicine. However, it is not typically referred to as a "Doctor's degree" in the same sense as a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). Graduates holding a MB ChB are often referred to as doctors, but the designation varies by region and institution.
A doctor may have "MB" after their name, which stands for "Bachelor of Medicine," derived from the Latin "Medicinae Baccalaureus." This designation is commonly used in countries following the British medical education system, where graduates earn the MB degree before obtaining their medical license. In contrast, "MD," or "Doctor of Medicine," is often used in the United States and some other countries to denote the same level of medical training. Thus, the difference reflects variations in medical education systems rather than differences in qualifications.
