Hello aspirant,

Hope you are doing well..!!!


No you can not work in medical clinic in that frame of mind of a specialist.


Specialist of theory or PhD is a Supreme degree which depends on exploration and examinations for the equivalent. Subsequent to chasing after pgd you can become teacher in the college of a specific space. It couldn't be any more obvious, the prefix 'Dr.' is added infront of the competitors name after they complete phd yet this doesn't implies that you turned into a real specialist. A specialist is somebody who has done MBBS certificate and read up further for something very similar. They are experts in the clinical field.


So you won't be a specialist yet you will achieve the most significant level and the prize is your name will be renamed with Dr. prefix.


Hope this information helps you!!!

All the best!!!

Hi there,

No you can not work in hospital in the position of a doctor.

Doctor of philosophy or PhD is a Supreme degree which is based on research and experiments for the same.

After pursuing pgd you can become professor in the university of a particular domain.

See, the prefix 'Dr.' is added infront of the candidates name after they complete phd but this doesn't means that you became an actual doctor. A doctor is someone who has done MBBS degree and studied further for the same. They are professionals in the medical field.

So you will not be a doctor but you will attain the highest degree and the reward is your name will be renamed with Dr prefix.

I hope this information will help you.  Thank you!!!
