Bachelor of medicine and bachelor of surgery (MBBS/MD).

MBBS stands for Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery. It is an undergraduate medical degree granted by medical schools in countries following the United Kingdom's education system. To become a fully certified junior doctor, graduates typically need to complete two additional years of postgraduate training. 

Key Aspects

• Undergraduate Degree:
  An MBBS is the initial professional medical degree, usually pursued directly after secondary education. 
• Combined Degree:
  Despite the separate names, it is a single, combined degree conferring the qualification to practice as a physician.
• Postgraduate Training:
  After obtaining an MBBS, graduates undertake a period of supervised practice (internship) in various medical specialties to gain further experience and identify a specific field for further specialization. 
• Global Recognition:
  The MBBS degree is common in many countries, particularly those with a historical connection to the UK, though the specific structures of postgraduate training can vary. 
• Career Path:
  The MBBS is the first step toward becoming a qualified doctor, with further specialization and advanced training occurring after the degree is earned

Curriculum 
Basic science first two years : Anotomy, physiology, pathology, behavioral science,
Biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, pharmacology, nutrition, public health ​

Basic science in medicine includes:

• Anatomy: The study of the body's structure. 
• Physiology: The study of how the body's cells, tissues, and organs function. 
• Biochemistry: The study of the chemical processes that occur within living organisms. 
• Microbiology: The study of microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses, and their role in disease. 
• Immunology: The study of the immune system. 
• Genetics: The study of genes and heredity. 
• Pharmacology: The study of how drugs and other chemicals affect the body. 
• Pathology: The study of the causes and effects of diseases. 

Core Modules 

• Foundational Sciences:
  • Human Biology: Covers fundamental principles of the human body.
  • Medical Physics: Explores the physical principles relevant to medicine.
  • Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Chemistry: Focuses on the chemistry of drugs and their effects.
• System-Based Modules:
  • Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Immune, Gastrointestinal, and Excretory Systems: Studies of these organ systems.
  • Musculoskeletal, Nervous, Skin, Special Senses, Reproductive, and Endocrine Systems: Analysis of these bodily structures and functions.
• Clinical and Professional Skills:
  • Disease Diagnostics and Therapeutics: Covers how diseases are identified and treated.
  • Professionalism in the Health Sciences: Emphasizes ethical conduct and professionalism.
  • Biomedical Laboratory Sciences: Teaches the practical application of laboratory techniques.

Curriculum Structure

• Integration of Disciplines:
  Modules often integrate clinical, biomedical, and behavioral sciences. 
• Early Clinical Contact:
  Programs typically involve early interaction with patients in clinical settings, such as general practice and hospital trusts. 
• Case-Based Learning:
  This approach is used to link theoretical knowledge with practical scenarios, allowing students to apply what they've learned. 
• Clinical Placements:
  As the program progresses, students spend increasing time in clinical environments, including hospital and community settings. 
• Electives:
  The final year often includes an elective module where students can explore a specific area of medicine in depth, potentially abroad. ​
