It usually refers to Bachelor of Medicine, and often in conjunction with BS or ChB. In countries where medical students are admitted without previous undergraduate degree, the medical course runs between 5 - 7 years plus 1-2 years of internship. When doctors graduate from these degree programmes, they receive the degree MBChB or MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery). Medical doctors who trained in the UK, most Commonwealth countries and Asia usually carry this title and on a practical level MBChB can be regarded as equivalent to the MD in the US.
