DM

No, DM is not equivalent to a PhD. These are two types of postgraduate degrees within the context of Medicine and health sciences with different points of focus and purpose.A DM in Medical degree is essentially clinical and specialised in orientation, with the focus being on the care of patients and practice of medicine; on the other hand, a PhD is oriented toward research and contributes to the body of knowledge in science. They thus serve two different purposes within the medical and academic communities. Both degrees, however, mean an advanced qualification and skill in the relevant spheres of operations, and persons holding either qualification can make valuable contributions to Medicine.
