What is a MBCHB?
An MBChB degree is a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery degree. Other common abbreviations include MBBS, or MB BChir. This is the primary medical degree awarded in a range of different countries that follow the tradition of the United Kingdom in awarding medical degrees.
The way in which the degree name is created shows the two distinct undergraduate degrees which were once seen as the two types of Medicine – the chirurgiae (surgery) and the medicinae (medicine). However, today the two degrees are conferred together and may be awarded as an undergraduate or graduate level degree.
In general, in China, Australia, and some UK schools, the primary medical degree is the MB (Bachelor of Medicine). However, this still confers the ability to practice surgery. In North America, the MD (Doctor of Medicine) and DO (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) both confer the ability to practice. Those transferring to the US can list their MBBS, MBChB, etc as MD.
