About MBBS

MBBS

MBBS means Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery and in Latin stands for Medicinae Baccalaureus Baccalaureus Chirurgiae. It is the undergraduate equivalent of medical graduate level education  and thus awarded as a degree in medicine and surgery upon graduation from medical school or college.
In India it is a four and a half year course followed by one year of internship, which is compulsory. Only after successfully finishing these five and a half years, one is awarded the graduate degree of MBBS. Once the degree is awarded, one can prefix Dr. in front of ones name.

Duration of MBBS

The students simultaneously are taken through hands-on training in the wards and out-patient departments; an exercise which involves interacting with real patients for all training years. There is lab work too during the first two and a half years. The remaining two years involves learning of clinical subjects like eye, Ent, surgery, medicine and other subjects.

MBBS Curriculum
