Dental degreeA number of professional degrees in dentistry are offered by dental schools in various countries around the world.
Teaching hospitalA teaching hospital is a hospital or medical centre that provides medical education and training to future and current health professionals. Teaching hospitals are almost always affiliated with one or more universities and are often co-located with medical schools. Teaching hospitals use a residency program to educate qualified physicians, podiatrists, dentists, and pharmacists who are receiving training after attaining the degree of MD, DPM, DDS, DMD, PharmD, DO, BDS, BDent, MBBS, MBChB, or BMed.
Medical degreeA medical degree is a professional degree admitted to those who have passed coursework in the fields of medicine and/or surgery from an accredited medical school. Obtaining a degree in medicine allows for the recipient to continue on into specialty training with the end goal of securing a license to practice within their respective jurisdiction. Medical graduates may also pursue non-clinical careers including those in basic research and positions within the healthcare industry.
Primary care physicianA primary care physician (PCP) is a physician who provides both the first contact for a person with an undiagnosed health concern as well as continuing care of varied medical conditions, not limited by cause, organ system, or diagnosis. The term is primarily used in the United States. In the past, the equivalent term was 'general practitioner' in the US; however in the United Kingdom and other countries the term general practitioner is still used. With the advent of nurses as PCPs, the term PCP has also been expanded to denote primary care providers.
Bachelors of Medicine and SurgeryLes Bachelor of Medicine et Bachelor of Surgery désignent deux diplômes universitaires décernés après cinq à six années d'études de médecine ou de chirurgie dans les universités britanniques et dans certains pays de traditions britanniques tels que l'Australie ou la Nouvelle-Zélande. Ces bachelors sont théoriquement deux diplômes à part entière mais en pratique, on les considère souvent comme un seul. Au Royaume-Uni, ce sont les diplômes équivalents du Doctor of Medicine.
Chirurgie digestivevignette|Opération de chirurgie La chirurgie digestive concerne les interventions réalisées sur l'appareil digestif ciblant l'œsophage, l'estomac, le duodénum, l'intestin grêle, le côlon et le rectum. Le chirurgien digestif réalise aussi des interventions sur les voies biliaires et la vésicule biliaire, le foie, le pancréas, la rate et sur la paroi abdominale, au même titre que la chirurgie de la hernie inguinale, ce qui explique l'intitulé chirurgie viscérale et digestive, le plus fréquemment utilisé en France.
Forensic pathologyForensic pathology is pathology that focuses on determining the cause of death by examining a corpse. A post mortem examination is performed by a medical examiner or forensic pathologist, usually during the investigation of criminal law cases and civil law cases in some jurisdictions. Coroners and medical examiners are also frequently asked to confirm the identity of remains. Forensic pathology is an application of medical jurisprudence.
Maturité (certificat)Dans le domaine de l'enseignement scolaire, la maturité est un certificat délivré à la fin des études secondaires (niveau CITE/ISCED 3, correspondant au diplôme de baccalauréat en France) dans certains pays francophones (Belgique, Suisse).
Néonatalogiethumb|Un nouveau-né en soins intensifs. La néonatalogie ou néonatologie est une spécialité médicale qui s'attache à prendre en charge les nouveau-nés, définis par un âge inférieur à 28 jours de vie après la naissance. Ceux-ci peuvent être prématurés (nés avant 37 semaines d'aménorrhée), normalement maturés (nés entre 37 et 41 semaines d'aménorrhée + 6 jours inclus) ou postmaturés (nés après 42 semaines d'aménorrhée). Cette spécialité pédiatrique est à l'interface avec l'obstétrique et s'intéresse au fœtus lors de la vie intra-utérine autant qu'au nouveau-né.
Attending physicianIn the United States and Canada, an attending physician (also known as a staff physician or supervising physician) is a physician (usually an M.D., or D.O. or D.P.M. in the United States) who has completed residency and practices medicine in a clinic or hospital, in the specialty learned during residency. An attending physician typically supervises fellows, residents, and medical students. Attending physicians may also maintain professorships at an affiliated medical school.
