Full Form of MBBS is Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery and it is a highly sought profession throughout the world. It is basically an undergraduate degree where you get to learn the basics of medicine, surgery, and general human health.

A typical MBBS degree is about five years long and after that, the candidates are required to complete an internship of one year at some medical center, nonprofit organization, or rehabilitation center.

After MBBS the students can opt to specialize in a variety of fields including general surgery, pathology, neurology, cardiology, etc.

The curriculum for MBBS includes a wide range of subjects such as anatomy, pharmacology, pathology, pediatrics, and much more. Most universities or schools require you to pass a tough entrance exam to get enrolled.
