Talk:Professional degree

Professional degrees by country - United States
Editor was clearly not reading the purpose of this list, which is stated as: The use of the term "first-professional" was discontinued by the Department of Education as of 2010–11, when new post-baccalaureate award categories were introduced.[35] Prior to this, first-professional degrees (so defined) were awarded in the following ten fields:[34].


 * So this is not a list that would be added to

I'm guessing that additions made by IP 89.148.96.229, and undone by Robminchin(thanks), were added back by new user:Forestslake, with the addition of several others.

If no one objects in the next few days, I'll remove the following:
 * Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture (T.C.M.)
 * Traditional Korean Medicine (T.K.M.)
 * Plant Medicine (D.P.M.)
 * Naturopathy (N.D.)
 * Audiology (AudD.)

And also the irrelevant references jammed on the bottom of the page:
 * 70.Doctor of Plant Medicine
 * 71.Doctor of Audiologist
 * 72.Doctor of Naturopathy[1]
 * 73.Doctor of Traditional Korean Medicine [2]
 * 74.Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine [3]
