Medical - Medical (general) / Title
Spanish term or phrase: Carrera de Medicina
Hola, estoy traduciendo al inglés un título universitario de la carrera de medicina para presentar en el extranjero; el documento dice:

"ha finalizado el XX los estudios correspondientes a la carrera de medicina (...) Por lo tanto, de acuerdo con las normas vigentes en esta Universidad, le confieren el presente diploma de Médico".

Mi pregunta es: ¿cuál sería el término más apropiado para traducir la carrera y el título? ¿Bachelor´s Degree in Medicine y Medical Doctor?

¡Gracias!

medical degree
Explanation:
I think this is a good generic way of saying that would work for multiple countries.
I have just looked at my own medical degree (from UK) and it says the following:
"This document attests that the person named hereon has satisfied the requirements of the Senate of University of XX for the award on (date) of the degree of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (M.B., Ch.B.)"
Obviously this has details that will be specific to the uni I went to and the country etc, but could be useful for you or others

Reflecting on it a bit, I think Liz Askew’s suggestion also makes sense! Maybe something like "the requirements of the/this university’s course in medicine..."

Coffeefreak and Mariaklec:

Faculty refers to the teachers/professors of a school or program, not the program itself. (Staff comprises the employees who are not teachers/professors). So, you would not say "I am studying the faculty of medicine."

Degree course refers to an academic program that leads to a degree. I guess you could say "doing a degree course in medicine" or "doing a program in medicine" but since the usual way of expressing this is "studying medicine," I would wonder if it was something other than a full medical degree rather than "med school."

Maybe that's what you're looking for: Med School is an informal way of saying a university program that trains doctors. It's common to say "She's in med school."

Mariaklec,

What You Wrote Is Clear, That's Why The Word Faculty Or Just I Am Studying.... Doesn't Go With The Context I Need.

I Am Translating A Transcript Record. And There Is A Part Of The Certificate That Reads:

Plan/carrera Xxxxx

That's Why I Got To The Conclusion That : Plan Of Study/degree Course Should Be The Best Options So Far.
