  • What is the difference between a degree and a fellowship in medical education?
    There is a basic difference between a degree and fellowship, A degree is an academic qualification awarded by a university or institution upon completing a structured program of study, such as a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree. It provides foundational and advanced knowledge in a broad field, forming the primary educational requirement for a profession. In contrast, a fellowship is a specialized training program pursued after obtaining a degree, focusing on advanced skills, research, or clinical expertise in a niche area. Fellowships are usually shorter in duration and are designed for professionals seeking further specialization. For example, FIPP (Fellow of Interventional Pain Practice) and CIPS (Certified Interventional Pain Sonologist) are fellowships that enhance expertise in interventional pain management, complementing a physician's prior medical education and training.
