Doctorate in Medical Sciences?


Recommended Posts

I just saw a post elsewhere that Lincoln Memorial University is offering a PhD in Medical Science (50 credit hours). As a newbie being assaulted by the thousands of gallons of water that I'm drinking every week in my didactic phase, I don't understand the reasoning for this. Would there be a important purpose or practical longterm advantage ( $ ) to this? I would imagine if you wanted this, one would find a bridge program instead. Seems like the PA version of the DNP. I can appreciate the additional training and advanced medicine learned; again I'm new and recently started my didactic phase so I may not understand some real world aspects here. I'm a planner and I like to have a generalized idea where I'm going in life. 6 mo / 5 yr / 10 yr goals type deal.

Please be aware a PhD is not a DMS

 

Two different degrees with different purposes

 

Much talk about it here on the board already - would recomend reading other threads

 

 

ah! I see. My apologies - thank you for that clarification.
