回复: 有想学医学技师的朋友请进！
不清楚其它北美学校，蒙大的医学专业就叫 Doctorat en médecine (M.D.) (4 ans ) ，拥有dec 和bac的人皆可报考，不知道毕业是不是博士学位，从名称上看是。
是，授予的学位是医学博士, Doctor of Medicine，但这种博士（包括其他如JD, PharmD，OD, DDS/DDM, DO, DC, DVM等）都属于professional/clinical doctorates，实际等同于本科。 这种博士不同于传统上的研究性博士或PhD。北美最早的医学学位跟欧洲一样，也是授予MB或bachelor of medicine的，“North American Medical schools switched to the tradition of the Ancient universities of Scotland and began granting the MD title rather than the MB mostly throughout the 1800s. ”。

Recently there has been a world wide movement to structure professional programs as "graduate-entry" (meaning requiring a previous degree).[citation needed] In countries where professional degrees are undergraduate degrees,
graduate-entry undergraduate programs have been established to allow students with a previous bachelors to enter the profession.[4] This movement towards the graduate-entry model reflects an emphasis that has been placed on teaching professional skills at an advanced, intensive level.[5] The switch to graduate entry also allows for a greater diversity of applicants who are more mature and motivated to study at the professional level. [6]
Some first professional degrees such as the Juris Doctor, Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, Doctor of Pharmacy, Doctor of Dental Surgery, Doctor of Medicine, Doctor of Optometry, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, Doctor of Audiology, and Doctor of Chiropractic have the term "Doctor" in the title, and (with the possible exception of the Juris Doctor) holders of such degrees are entitled to use the title of "doctor,"
but they are not equivalent to the Ph.D. It is important to note that students enrolled in Ph.D. programs in these fields are required to have completed the first professional degrees, and the PhD degree does not necessearily add anything to the first professional degree in terms of practice rights.
For instance, in order to earn an LLM (masters in law), one must have received a JD and SJD candidates are must have an LLM or a JD. Similarly, MSD (Masters of Science in Dentistry) applicants must have a DDS/BDent/DMD/BDS before they can be admitted into Masters Programs in Dentistry. The Ph.D. in Dental Science requires either a MSD or DDS/BDent/DMD/BDS. Another example is the professional doctorate in Pharmacy. The PharmD is inferior to its Masters and Ph.D.- level counterparts in Pharmacology.
