MBBS

The comparison of difficulty between a PharmD and MBBS degree is inherently subjective, as they are both quite difficult in their own right, with different emphases in their respective healthcare training programs. 

MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) is a degree in medicine that will cover identifying, treating, and managing an immense array of diseases and will require a massive amount of knowledge related to human anatomy, human physiology, and clinical medicine and procedures. 

PharmD (Doctor of Pharmacy), on the contrary, will have a goal of drug therapy management, pharmacology, and patient-centered care and practice within a clinical setting. MBBS will typically be seen as a degree that requires more academic work or academic demands, having the larger breadth of medicine to study and understand and beyond that, is carrying out its sets of medical roles and responsibilities clinically. PharmD is - absolutely intense and a challenging degree as well, in its structuring of pharmacology and medication management.

The BDS course syllabus is specifically designed to focus on dental Science and oral health, while the MBBS syllabus is centred around general medicine and surgery. 

In the BDS course, subjects are tailored to dental care, such as dental anatomy.

In contrast, the MBBS syllabus covers a broader range of medical topics. 

Additionally, while the BDS course includes a one-year internship focusing on practical dental procedures, MBBS students undergo clinical training across multiple medical disciplines. 

Both programs involve rigorous theoretical and practical training, but BDS is more specialised in dental practices, whereas MBBS offers a wider scope of medical knowledge and skills.

After finishing Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS full form in Medical), the student can now specialize in Cardiology or Neurology or any specialization area through the Postgraduate degree which is normally Master's degree (MD or MS in related specialty). 

The first step for the student is to clear the entrance exams, like the NEET PG de facto in India (or equivalent exam depending on the country). When the student finally gets into a program, with great difficulty, he/she must complete an extensive education and training period in their specialty. This includes full time education both theoretically, and practical rotations throughout the program over a number of years (typically 3 years) in hospital rotations and specialized hospital department rotations. 

The student will now have reached the required residency period to be deemed eligible to receive their specialized graduate degree in a related specialization area Cardiology MD or Neurology MD). Additionally, they may continue their education through fellowships or through additional years of specialized training in their areas of interests.

Practical training and internships are necessary for the MBBS curriculum because they assist learning that connects theoretical knowledge with real-life practical medical experience. 

During the early years of practical training, students gain important skills in anatomy dissections, laboratory skills, and clinical examinations. As students get closer to graduation, they start to interact with patients and learn about diagnosis, treatment, and management of medical conditions with guidance. 

The internship year, often the last year of MBBS is essential to professionally develop these skills because it provides students the opportunity to actively practise skills across a variety of medical specialties: surgery, paediatrics, obstetrics, and internal medicine, while developing the deeper aspects of patient care. This experience in practical training provides students the opportunity to finish medical school prepared to be competent, confident and capable doctors treating a variety of medical challenges.

The MBBS syllabus is typically divided into three phases over 5.5 years (including a 1-year internship). 

The structure is as follows:

• Phase 1 (1st Year): Focuses on Basic Sciences, including Anatomy, Physiology, and Biochemistry. The first year lays the foundation for understanding the human body, its functions, and the biochemical processes essential for medical knowledge.

• Phase 2 (2nd Year): Concentrates on Pharmacology, Microbiology, Pathology, and Forensic Medicine. Students learn about the action of drugs, microorganisms, disease processes, and medico-legal aspects of medicine.

• Phase 3 (3rd Year): Includes clinical subjects such as General Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, and Ophthalmology. Students begin to interact with patients, gaining practical knowledge under supervision.

• Phase 4 (Internship Year): The final year of MBBS is a mandatory internship where students undergo practical training in various departments, including Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics, Pediatrics, and more. This phase allows students to apply theoretical knowledge in real clinical settings.
