Being a Doctor of Medicine (MD) is an advanced career in the healthcare field. The MD program is a graduate-level degree that typically takes four years to complete and prepares students to practice medicine. The beginning coursework typically includes foundational sciences such as anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. By the third year, students begin to experience clinical rotations in various medical specialties such as internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and psychiatry. During the final year, students complete more advanced clinical rotations and prepare for their residency, which is the next step in their medical training.
