    Both PhD in Medicine degree holders and MBBS graduates are considered "doctors," but their roles and expertise differ significantly. 

    An MBBS graduate is a medical doctor who has completed training in clinical medicine and is licensed to diagnose and treat patients. They are trained to provide direct medical care, conduct surgeries, and prescribe medications. 

    A PhD in Medicine holder, on the other hand, is a doctor in a specific field of research and academic inquiry. PhD in Medicine graduates contribute to advancing knowledge through research and are experts in their specialised area but do not provide clinical care.
