No, you cannot practice Medicine with just a PhD if you do not hold an MD. A PhD in Medicine or related fields focuses on research and academic expertise, not clinical practice. To legally practice Medicine, you need to obtain an MD (Doctor of Medicine) or an equivalent medical degree, which includes clinical training and the required licensing exams.
