A medical school is a tertiary educational institution or part of such an institution that teaches medicine and awards a professional degree to physicians and surgeons. Such medical degrees include the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS, MBChB, BMBS), Doctor of Medicine (MD), or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO). Many medical schools offer additional degrees, such as a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D. Medical), a Master’s degree (M.Sc. Medical), a physician assistant program, or other post-secondary education.
