There are no US universities which award the Bachelor of Medicine. In the USA all medical colleges award the MD except for a few that give the degree of DO (Doctor of Osteopathic medicine) which is basically the same program.
US medical schools have a four year curriculum and in virtually all cases they require a BA or BS with a set of required (prerequisite) courses that includes one year each of physics, biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemisty and calculus. The prereqs vary from school to school. Admission to US med schools is extremely competitive. In some schools only 1% of the well qualified applicants are accepted.
