If a North American goes to med school via the Atlantic Bridge....do they come back with an MD? Or something else?

Irish schools grant the MB BS BCh (or some variant) degree. This is fully equivalent to the MD and recognized as such. If you do a residency in NAmerica after graduating from an Irish med school, you can keep your Irish degree or call yourself an MD (your preference). Basically, the MB degree (just like the Llb in law in the old days) are bachelor's degrees and the "newer" degrees (MD or JD for law) used in NAmerica are "doctor" degrees.

Yes, If you are granted an MBBS or MBChB degree in the UK.. you are allowed to use the initials MD if you are working in the US because they are equivalent degrees.

MBBS = MD

Both are allopathic medical degrees that qualify you as a "doctor".
