Hey,
There is no "Bachelor's in medical science" over here like the MBBS in India. Here, we have the M.D or the D.O .Both are licensed physicians to practice in all fields of medicine

Hi there,
First, if u are in the US, hope that u are at least a permanent resident (green card holder). Then u need to complete a Bachelor's degree in any field, but u must have 1 year of English, 1 year of General Chemistry, 1 year of Organic Chemistry, one semster of statistics and calculus and 1 year of General Physics. Then u have to take the MCAT as an entracnce exam . Plus, u will have to do research and some extra curriculuar ativities and apply to the medical schools for a shot of 1000+ applicants for 100 seats.
