    PhD Programs in Medical Studies

    The field of medicine concerns itself with diagnosing, preventing, and treating human illnesses and injuries. Medical students learn to heal and care for sick people, using their in-depth knowledge of the human body and topics such as pharmaceuticals and surgery.

    The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
