MBBS, DCH vs MD - lifeon

[ArchivalUser]

I have completed MBBS and DCH (Post graduate diploma in Child Health) from India and am now a part of a research team. For one of the articles that is being sent, the editors of the article want to know if I can attach MD after my name instead of MBBS, DCH. Please help me understand if I can do so. Also, the article will be published in the journal across the globe and MBBS and MD in US and India mean different. What should I be doing? Will I get into any legal tangle if I go ahead and put MD DCH or only MD instead of MBBS DCH

i think MD will be fine as if u do ur MBBS evaluation by World Education Service, they will write down MBBS equivalent to MD in US...
Here who ever complete allopathic med school are recognize as MD..
