PhD is Doctor in Philosophy.
MD in Medicine.
Why can an "engineer" for instance, get a "PhD".
So, PhD applies to all fields that have done a Doctor's level degree??
Not just philosophy??

Most lawyers have a JD, juris doctorate. Doctors or Ostreopathy get a DO, and dentists get a DMD, but pretty much everything else is a PhD that I can think of.

A PhD holds a submit-graduate degree of their tutorial self-discipline, yet that self-discipline would nicely be drugs. (My ENT holds a doctorate in drugs.) no count number what, a PhD is a genuine well being care service. to instruct in the different case will be construed as an insult to the quantity of work and self-discipline it truly is fascinated in getting that doctorate, and that i doubt that my sister, between others, would take that with no minimum of holding some thing. A well being care service holds, a minimum of, a bachelors degree in drugs, and makes use of the letter MD (for well being care service) in the back of their call.

Yes, that is correct to some extent. A PhD is generally in one of the humanities fields. Literature, psychology, art, social work, etc. Advanced degrees in some other fields have their own designations: JD, MD, DO, PE (Professional Engineer)

There are other Doctorates besides Ph.D's. That is only one type of Doctorate. For example, Psychologists can be either Ph.D's or Psy.D's (one is more research based, one is more clinically based). Other than that though, yes, a Ph.D. is a Doctor in the Philosophy of XXX (not Philosphy itself), so someone with a Ph.D in business would be a Doctor in the Philosophy of Business.

Yes. PhD applies to ALL disciplines, and ALL medical doctors, including psychiatrists, MUST have a degree, though a psychologist doesn't have to. But he can't write prescriptions. In any case, PhD does NOT apply to philosophy per se.

Well engineers could become Doctors by getting an honorary degree if they show merit.
