Re: MD Or PHD Which Is Higher
As you have asked about the higher degree among the Doctor of Medicine (MD) and Doctor of philosophy (PhD), I am giving you some information about it, check below for the details MD and Phd are both higher degrees. MD stands for Doctor of Medicine, and Phd stands for Doctor of philosophy. MD is associated with treating patients while Phd is related to a doctor’s degree in other fields. While MD pertains to a higher degree in medicine, a Phd can be obtained in various fields, like arts and the sciences. A person with a MD degree can prescribe medicines A person gets a MD degree after two years of course work, and two years of rotational work, in some hospital or clinic. On the other hand, a person gets a Phd only after his thesis paper has been approved. The origin of Doctor of Medicine is traced to the ninth century, when it was introduced in the medieval Arabic universities. The Doctor of Philosophy is known to have originated in the Middle Ages, in the European universities. There is also the difference of time when studying for the degrees. While a person gets a MD after about four years, a person will only get a PhD in four to seven years. Getting a PhD also depends on the submission of the thesis paper. |
