MD is an abbreviation for the degree conferred on a person who completes the requirements of a medical school; the notation refers to the type of degree attained, and is not a title for the individual: Doctor of Medicine. JD is the abbreviation for the degree conferred on a person who completes the requirements of a law school; again, the notation refers to the degree and not the person: Juris Doctor.
The order of college degrees is Associates, Bachelors, Masters, PhD, MD and JD. A Bachelors degree would be higher than an Associates degree.
There are different doctors. To be a medical doctor, you would have an MD or DO. A doctor of veterinary medicine is a DVM. A dentist may be a DDS or DMD. A doctor of law is a JD, doctor of religion a DD. People that have demonstrated a very high degree of learning in a field such as engineering, biology, chemistry, etc would have a PhD.
Ph.d degree is an advanced degree after the Master's degree. Ph.d is short for 'Doctor of Philosophy' It is not a degree "after the master's degree" but an advanced degree after your Bachelors. Many people go straight from BA to doctorate. For instance MD's. :-)
i have no idea but MD stands for doctor of medicine.
It is for Doctors to signify that they have a medical degree. MD is an acronym for medical degree.
Having an MD degree means one is a doctor of medicine. An MD degree is obtained through degree programs offered at medical schools. A PhD degree would be of someone that has a degree in philosophy.
Both are intensive degree programs.
The degree is a Doctor of Medicine (MD)
I have not been made aware of any combined programs with a Bachelors degree coupled with a Doctorate in Medicine. However, you may research this at www.collegeboard.com/splash/. You can access information particular to your request by going to "college matchmaker" on this site and initiate a search by major. Viper1 Many universities do offer MD programs where you can also earn another post-bachelors degree with them. Some examples are: MD + Juris doctor (law degree) MD + Masters of Public Health MD + MSW (Masters of Social Work) MD + MBA (masters of business administration) I know that Indiana University offers the above degree combos, and many other med schools also offer a medical degree with a degree in an outside field.
