MBBS degree holders are missing four years college education. You can enter in MBBS degree after 12 grade or High school in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. whereas to obtain MD degree you need to complete four years degree before applying for four years MD degree program. MBBS degree holders never take MCAT exam. In India or Pakistan you can get admission in MBBS program even though you are a week student as long as you have money. Majority of private medical schools give you admission even if you are a C grades student.

[@BahaMed]

It doesn't work quite like that here, in the Caribbean. Personally, I have a 4-year Bachelors of science degree in animal biology- which contained my premed prerequisite courses and a lot of other "fluff" courses lol. I also sat the MCAT (because I was in the US for undergrad and wanted to pursue MD) before attending medical school in the Caribbean (to obtain my MBBS degree). However, I did have classmates that didn't do a 4-year degree prior to entering our MBBS program. They all had to do a preliminary course that allowed them to cover all the prerequisites necessary to enter into medical school. They were not deficient in any area prior to entering and they're competent doctors today. Most are better than me! LOL So, I wouldn't say that they are "missing 4 years." It is unfortunate that India/Pakistan rewards cash over merit when it comes to training physicians. It shouldn't be that way. But, I hope this helps.

[@SalmanKhan-Fikarmand]

Hi ! I'm studying in Tajikistan but I'm from Pakistan. Our university offers two programs : 6 years MD & 5 years MBBS. Although 5 years MBBS is not its local degree. So if i do 5 years MBBS... Then, will it be accepted by UK, US or other European countries Medical councils ?

Should I do MBBS from UK OR MD from Canada (+4 years undergrad)?

[@hhykk]

if it's a bachelor then I need to go for graduate school after? My relatives are still confused by the concept of MBBS. They still want me to get MD degree from States

[@xraystemi1403]

As long as you can complete residency, you are a DOCTOR no matter which degree. You don’t need a MSc to practice after MBBS.

[@ruleighdy]

Hi there! Quick questions: -Would you say that 3 prerequisites per semester are too much too handle? - Would you recommend taking the prerequisites while you are taking your degree or taking them after you graduate and having 1-2 year gap? Thanks!

[@BahaMed]

Rudy B hi there! Thanks for watching! - It depends on which courses you’re taking and how full your workload is otherwise. You would have to feel it out and see how it goes! - my degree was a science degree so the actual requirements of my degree overlapped with my premed courses/Med prerequisites. So I was fulfilling my prerequisites while fulfilling my degree requirements so that worked out for me where I didn’t have to take them separately. That is what I’d actually recommend unless you really want to major in something unrelated to the natural sciences. If so, I would suggest spreading the premed courses throughout the degree. That way, you can still finish on time but not be overwhelmed with taking all the classes at once. There are so many, that I believe taking them after you graduate will take a few years. I hope that helps!

[@ruleighdy]

Baha Med Thank you so much for taking the time to answer me back!😊 I have 11 classes left for my prerequisites..... I also heard that committees frown upon “light” semesters..... any feedback on that? Thanks again and keep the good work with your channel!

[@BahaMed]

Rudy B you’re most welcome! That’s what I’m here for! 🤗 I heard that before too. However, they would much rather you have good grades right! I think having a light semester with great grades goes a longer way than a heavy semester with grades that aren’t so great. What you are demonstrating in your prerequisites is that you have an understanding of the necessary material, not only that you can handle a heavy workload. And good grades will demonstrate that you have a good grip on the sciences and thus you’ll transition smoothly into med school material. And I also think that the fact that you’re doing a non-science major while still tackling premed courses is impressive! Don’t worry! They’ll be wowed by that! I’m sure you’re brilliant so your grades will reflect that! So take as many as you can while still maintaining good grades!

[@BahaMed]

Hello there!! Wow! Pakistan! 🤩 thank you so much for stopping by! 6 years! Wow! My program is 5 years and that feels long to me 😅. I cannot imagine an additional year! 😅🤣 But if the school is a great school and you’re getting a higher quality education and adequate clinical exposure with the extra year then go for it! Just do your research and align the timeline against your personal plans (when you want to graduate by, etc) and see how it stacks up! I hope this helps! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

No, it doesn’t differ on whether you decide on MBBS vs MD. Yes, you can! After you complete MBBS or MD, you’ll then go on to specialize in the area of medicine of your choice! 🙌🏾

MBBS is actually shorter because -MBBS is just the bachelors level -while MD programs require you obtain a bachelors first in some discipline all while having your premedical course work done and then complete 4 years of medical school -

[@BahaMed]

OShawna23 ❤️ yup. The journey is shorter for a lot of people (those who go into the program after high school). But if you’re like me 😣😂, I did 4 years of my biology/pre Med degree first then still went for my Mbbs after. So it’s long for me either way 😂 And, we’re just talking about the length of time of the programs themselves, not the journey. So an MBBS program itself is usually 4.5- 5 years compared to MD program itself which is usually 4. Hope that wasn’t confusing ❤️❤️

[@DiscoNick]

My understanding is that it depends on your route of entry. My MBBS is 4 years because I am on a graduate entry course (I did a bachelors prior). That being said both MD (or DO) and MBBS (or MBChB in some commonwealth medical schools) are all professional doctorates therefore all technically undergraduate degrees.
