A Medical doctor is not a PhD because for them to attain that status they have to study more

A medical doctor is not PH.D. provided one did PH.D. Degree. MBBS and MDs are not Ph.D. Degrees.

They are medical doctors (MD) only and not doctor in philosophy (PhD). There is a vast difference between the two. Best regards

I received my Ph D degree from a health University of Government of West Bengal, India, though I am basically a graduate of Veterinary Science, having Masters degree from one national institution of Government of India and qualified in National Eligibility Test. Please read the eligibility criteria of the University for Ph. D.program.

1.A candidate who has obtained Master’s degree or equivalent Post Graduate degree recognized by corresponding regulatory bodies in various disciplines of Basic sciences, Medical sciences, Dental sciences, Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Unani, Nursing, Paramedical and Allied Health scienceswith at least 55% marks in aggregate.

a) 2 years of continuous approved experience after obtaining post-graduate degree in academic or research related work in relevant field in state/ national/ government R&D institute/ accredited laboratories etc.

2. Applicants with M.B.B.S. or equivalent degree in other allied health sciences with excellent academic record with minimum 55%marks in all professional examinations may be considered eligible to pursue Ph.D programme in health sciences with the following requirements:
