hi, there are two types of doctors: ones who have doctorates which gain PHd's in any field which requires years of study; or there are medical doctors which go to medical school. so technically they aren't the same even though they get the same title. but a medical doctors can get a PHd. in which case that's a HEAP of study! hope this helps

What is a doctorate's degree?
AnswerA Doctorate's degree usually takes 8-10 years. Commonly know as Ph.D (Doctor of Philosophy), there are a variety of other Doctorate degrees by profession, such as Doctor of Theology and Doctor of Physical Therapy. Most demanding professions, such as that of a Doctor or College Professor, require a Doctorate's degree.ANSWERThere are different doctorate/doctoral degree designations. There are the "professional" degrees such as the MD (Doctor of Medicine), DO (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine), JD (Doctor of Jurisprudence-law degree), DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery-Dental degree) PharmD (Doctor of Pharmacy), and PhD (Doctor of Philosophy-often a research doctorate), EDD (Doctorate of Education) DS (Doctor of Science), DMA (Doctorate of Musical Arts), and perhaps other designations.The MD and DO medical degrees require four years of medical school after a Bachelor's degree. That will be followed by a residency of three to five or more years to focus on a specialization. There may also be additional training required for certain specializations. The JD (Law degree) is typically three years of full time study after a Bachelor's degree. The DDS (Dentist) degree is generally four years after the Bachelor degree, though certain sub-specializations may take longer. The Pharm D, pharmacy doctorate is typically a four or five year program. The Ph.D. is a degree whereby the recipient is trained to do research and to teach. The Ph.D. is required for certain governmental positions and is an educational requirement at most for senior level positions whether administrative or academic.

Difference between Ph.D and doctor of science?
A PhD is just one example of a doctorate. A PhD is a 'generic' doctorate which is earned after 3-5 years of dedicated research and a publishable dissertation. PhD stands for "Doctor of Philosophy" (Philosophy being generally the unknown - regardless of subject). Other doctorates are MD (Medical Doctor), DPH (Doctorate in Public Health), DCS (Doctorate in Computer Science) and many more. In some countries DSc or ScD (Doctor of Science), is a regular doctorate but in other countries it may be a special 'higher degree' that is given to honor many years of outstanding work.
