Medical degree

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A medical degree is a general term that is commonly used to refer to an academic, or even technical, degree awarded for studies in fields associated with medicine and/or healthcare. The results of a study conducted in 2011 that involved the collection of statistics from more than 1000 medical schools throughout the world indicate that, on average, approximately 64 university exams, 130 series exams, and 174 assignments are completed over the course of 5.5 years (approx. 1000 classroom days). Students will have to require more than 85% marks in prerequisite courses in order to get enrolled for the aptitude test for these degree programs. They then have to clear the test with 85% to 90% marks which is highly uncomparable with all the other Bachelor degree programs including BCom, B.C.A, I.A.S, I.P.S and Engineering B.E and B.S.[1] The World Health Organization has granted international recognition to certain widely offered conventional medical degrees. Degrees recognized internationally by the AVICENNA Directory for medicine/International Medical Education Directory
