Doctor of Medicine (MD)

MD, or Doctor of Medicine, is the highest academic degree for surgeons and physicians. It can be a professional doctorate, as in the case of USA and Canada, or a research degree, as in countries following the UK tradition. Graduating from a study program to become a Medical Doctor typically includes having completed medical school, as well as a residency.

Online MD

Online MD programs provide medical professionals with the opportunity to complete parts of their coursework and research online, and to communicate with their professors with the help of e-learning tools. Due to the need for Medical Doctors to undergo specialized training in the form of residency, it may not be possible to take the entire MD degree online.

Pre-med studies include various coursework, research and clinical experience, as well as the application process. It is also typical for pre-medical students to volunteer in a healthcare setting.
