Here's a breakdown:
* M: Stands for "Magister," Latin for "master."
* D: Stands for "Doctor," Latin for "teacher."
What it means:
* The MD degree signifies that a person has completed a rigorous medical education, including coursework, clinical rotations, and residency training.
* It qualifies them to practice medicine as a physician, diagnosing and treating illnesses and injuries.
Note: In some countries, like the United Kingdom and Canada, the equivalent degree is called a "MBBS" (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery).
