Achieving a MD or Doctor of Medicine Degree

A MD Degree or (Doctor of Medicine) Degree is a medical degree offered to physicians and surgeons by medical schools in the United States. One can typically expect to earn a MD Degree after four years of undergraduate study, followed by four years of medical school. Once finished with the university courses, one must complete at least a year of Clinical Rotations (internship). During the clinical rotations, students will “rotate” through working in different fields of medicine like General Surgery, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Pediatrics, Family Medicine, Psychiatry, Emergency Medicine, etc.

Medical Residency is the step following clinical rotations. Students choose and focus on a specific field of medicine to work in. If you are not entering some of the more difficult specialties (e.g. Cardiology), then you may be able to complete your training after residencies. However, some specialties require more training.

Tips:

Medical universities, internships, and residencies are all very competitive. In order to secure a post-graduate medical residency it is suggested that you take your license exams, enter the National Residency Matching Program, and conduct interviews at Residency Programs.

No matter what state in your career or education, you need to do the proper research about the school you are considering. Schedule a meeting with a representative from the university so you can learn more about the school and receive advice on earning the MD degree through their program. Some schools are partnered with hospitals in their areas to help provide medical residency opportunities to their students.

The University of Seychelles – American Institute of Medicine (USAIM) is a medical school located amongst the Seychelles Islands in the Indian Ocean. The environment is charming and serene, providing you with the perfect environment for studying.
