[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, if you're specializing in different subjects. My husband has an MD and a PhD, which he acquired separately, not through a dual degree program. He uses both sets of expertise in a cutting edge field of research at NIH. [/quote]

He does not have TWO PhD's.

[b]As others have posted[/b], that is different than an MD and a PhD.

This thread is NOT about people like your husband. [/quote]

PP you replied to. Pardon me, but I know better than you what my husband did with his career. He went through medical school and many years of specialization, wrote a medical thesis, worked as a professor at a hospital, then went back to graduate school and earned a PhD, which took him longer than usual, since he was also working as a doctor for part of his studies, before switching over to lab research to have material to write his PhD thesis. It many ways, it was harder than earning two separate PhDs.

Why did he do this? Because he pioneered the creation of a new field and needed all that expertise. There are very few people like him. He is now applying all this to Covid-19 research.

Have some respect.
