- Abstract
The authors express their opinion on the impact of having two medical degree in Australia on the medical profession in the country. They explain how having a Bachelor of Medicine (BMed) or a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MB BS) might pose the risk of forming a two-tiered system which will lead to a divided medical profession. The proposal of the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Council stipulated in a consultation paper regarding a universal system for higher education coursework degrees is discussed.
