"Licentiate in Medicine and Surgery (also known as Licentiate in Medical Practice in some instances) is a medical degree of historical importance in India. During the British rule of India some universities conferred this qualification. The qualification was conferred on a candidate who, having completed a five-year course, passed the required examination. This was in contrast with the MB degree which was of same duration but the curriculum was larger. Bhore committee, a committee for public health improvement strategies, in 1946 decided to stop the LMC (or, LMP) degree, and recommended a single qualification for all doctors (MBBS). The qualification was known by some other names in some of the states/universities, such as Licentiate of Medical Faculty (LMF)."@en . .

The name of the degree has been adopted to Finland, where physicians usually hold the L.M. instead of M.D."@en . "2093"^^ . . "39050542"^^ . "1019524248"^^ . .
