P. R. China
Chinese Universities in collaboration with their affiliated hospitals award two categories of master's degrees of medicine: specialty MMed or academic MMed degrees. Specialty MMed degrees are awarded after a supervised rotational training in the university's affiliated teaching hospitals and lead to registration as a specialist. Academic MMed degrees on the other hand are research and basic sciences oriented, focusing more on medical laboratory research. Both qualifications are acceptable prerequisites for PhD enrollment. The entry requirements of both specialty and academic MMed programs are MBBS or related undergraduate medical qualifications.
Graduates of specialty MMed qualifications can either choose to practise as specialist physicians and surgeons in their respective specialties or undergo subspecialty PhD/fellowship training leading to an advanced specialisation practice as consultants. The most important condition for gaining admission into MMed program is the availability of supervising professors or consultants who are willing to mentor the student.
