Are there medical course available in distance education?

While you can find many *health-related* courses offered through distance education, finding a fully accredited *medical degree* (like an MD or MBBS) entirely online is extremely rare, if not impossible. The hands-on, clinical experience required for medical training is fundamental and cannot be replicated effectively online.

What you *can* find online are:

* Pre-med courses: Many universities offer prerequisite courses for medical school (biology, chemistry, etc.) online. These won't be a medical degree themselves, but will help you prepare for application to medical school.

* Medical specialty certifications or continuing education: Doctors can often take online courses to maintain their licenses or specialize in certain areas.

* Associate's or Bachelor's degrees in healthcare-related fields: These degrees focus on specific roles within healthcare, such as nursing (though many nursing programs require clinical rotations), medical billing and coding, health informatics, and other allied health professions. These can be pursued partially or fully online, depending on the program.

* Online courses in specific medical topics: Many platforms offer individual courses on various medical subjects. These are usually for continuing education or general interest, not for professional medical licensure.

In short: If you're aiming to become a practicing physician (doctor), you will need to attend a traditional medical school with in-person clinical rotations. Online options exist for preparatory courses and allied health professions, but not for the core medical degree itself.
