The degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery are currently awarded in various forms in institutions in ඕස්ට්රේලියාව, බංග්ලාදේශය, , චීනය, , ෆීජි, , ගයනා, [[]], ඉන්දියාව, ඉරාකය, අයර්ලන්තය, ජැමෙයිකාව, ජෝර්දානය, Kenya, Kuwait, Libya, , Malaysia, , Mexico, , Nepal, නවසීලන්තය, , Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, , Saudi Arabia, , , South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sudan, , , the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and Zimbabwe.
Historically, Bachelor of Medicine was also the primary medical degree conferred by institutions in the United States and Canada, such as the , Harvard, , , and . Several early North American medical schools were (for the most part) founded by physicians and surgeons who had trained in England and ස්කොට්ලන්තය. University medical education in England culminated with the Bachelor of Medicine qualification, and in ස්කොට්ලන්තය the Doctor of Medicine, until from the mid-19th century when the public bodies that regulated medical practice at the time required practitioners in Scotland as well as England to hold the dual Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degrees. Throughout the 1800s, North American medical schools switched to the tradition of the and began conferring Doctor of Medicine rather than Bachelor of Medicine, the first institution to make such a switch being King's College (now Columbia University) in .
In the countries that award bachelors' degrees in medicine, however, Doctor of Medicine denotes a holder of a (higher doctorate) and is reserved for medical practitioners who undertake research and submit a thesis in the field of medicine. Nevertheless, those holding Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery are usually referred to by the courtesy title of "" and use the prefix "Dr".
Despite their styling as two degrees, Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery are usually conferred together. At some institutions, such as Oxford and Cambridge, it was possible in the past to be awarded the two degrees in different years.[]
In many countries, the degrees are awarded after an undergraduate course lasting five or six years. In some cases, a graduate in another discipline may subsequently enter a special graduate-entry medical course, reduced in duration to account for relevant material covered or learning skills acquired during the first degree. In some cases the old first year courses (for six year degrees) in the basic sciences of physics, chemistry and biology have been abolished, and that standard has to be reached by means of school examinations before entry. However, in most countries a newly-graduated Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery must spend a specified period in before they can obtain full qualification as a medical practitioner.

However, at many institutions (for example the in England and the in Scotland) it is possible for the degrees to be awarded with Honours (i.e. MB ChB (Hons)) or with Commendation, if the board of examiners recognises exceptional performance throughout the degree course. Very few of these are awarded.
More often, it is possible to study one subject for an extra year for an . This is usually a (BSc), (BMedSci), (BMedBiol) or similar: at Oxford and Cambridge in England and Dublin in Ireland degrees are awarded. At a few universities most medical students obtain an ordinary degree in science as well: when the University of Edinburgh had a six year course, the third year was followed by award of an ordinary BSc(MedSci). In ඕස්ට්රේලියාව, The University of Melbourne in ඕස්ට්රේලියාව offers an Arts Degree (BA) to a medical student on the completion of two extra years of undergraduate study, and Monash University offers a Law degree (LLB); if the optional Law degree is undertaken, on completion of their degree the student may choose to do a one-year internship at a hospital and become a doctor, or spend one year doing articles to practise thereafter as a lawyer. At the University of Nottingham in England all medical students on the five year course obtain a Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMedSci) degree without an extra intercalated year. The along with certain medical schools offers a BMedSci qualification on completion of a thesis based on 2-3 months of summer research; only students achieving honours in their preclinical courses are eligible to receive the degree. At certain medical students are able to extend their intercalated year to an extra three years, thus temporarily exiting the MBBS course to complete a . Upon completion of the PhD, the student is required to sit the remaining 2 years of the medicine course in order to receive his/her MBBS degeee.
