A medical degree is a title conferred by a college, university, or professional school on students who have completed a program of study that prepares them in the prevention, diagnosis, and care of human or animal health. The succesful completion of a degree does not automatically permit its holder to practice in his or her chosen field of medicine, for two reasons. Firstly, most jurisdictions require licenses to be issued by the appropriate regional board, usually after some form of standardised testing and other assesment of a candidate's suitability. Also, not all jurisdictions choose to recognize and license all fields of medicine.
