British Medical Degrees
In contast, most graduates of British medical schools (and schools in countries with an historical connection to the UK, such as Australia and New Zealand), do not receive an "MD" degree but receive a degree in each of three major areas of medical study: medicine, surgery, and obstetrics. To receive a degree the graduate must pass the qualifying examination in that area. And because in many cases these physicians-in-training have gone directly from high school into a six year program that combines college and medical school, the degrees awarded are bachelors degrees.
The **MB degree, which stands for bachelor of medicine**, is awarded for passing the medicine exam examination, thereby qualifying as a medical doctor. This degree is really the equivalent to the MD in the United States--it's the standard degree.

MD?
Are you sure that it's not a misprint? I would think that it is MD for medical doctor. I've never come across MB.

: agree its not a misprint:-) in Britain MD,etc tends to be a higher research degree for a doctor who already has their MB & BCh etc, eg:http://www.gla.ac.uk/faculties/medicine/gradschool/research.... http://www.lon.ac.uk/Medicine/Research/advanced.asp
