Licentiate's Degree in Human Medicine Explanation: I have been translating this "Ijazah" term as "Licentiate's Degree" for a long time now and it has been acceptable here by the bodies recognising certificates from Syria, Lebanon, .. etc. If the title of the degree mentioned in part of it in Arabic "Baccalorious" then I would have translated it as "Bachelor's Degree". And if the title stated "Diblom" I would have translated it as "Diploma". The Macquarie Dictionary defines Licentiate as: 1. one who has received a licence, as from a university or college, to practise an art or profession. 2. the holder of a certain university degree intermediate between that of bachelor and that of doctor. It has also been my practice to put the title in transliterated form as: "Darajat Ijazat Doctor Fit-Tibb Al-Bashari" and below that I would put the translation as: [Licentiate's Degree in Human Medicine].

"Doctor of Medicine Diploma" or "Diploma of Medical Doctor" Explanation: This answer comes from Dr. Badi' Al-Akesh as well, who holds such a degree himself, has worked as a medical translator/interpreter at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, and is to begin his Internal Medicine Residency in Lubbock, Texas, in July. Notice that you don't really need the word "human" in the English translation, as the expression is understood to prescind from veterinary medicine unless explicitly indicated. There probably is no harm in including it either. Fuad Courtesy of Dr. Badi' Al-Akesh |
