People pursue a PhD in Medicine to delve deeply into understanding diseases, developing innovative treatments, or advancing healthcare through research. For those passionate about discovery and innovation, the intellectual satisfaction and long-term impact of a PhD outweigh the more immediate clinical rewards of an MD. While an MD offers more direct clinical involvement with patients and is highly rewarding in terms of career opportunities and financial benefits, a PhD appeals to individuals with a strong interest in medical research and contributing to the scientific community. Additionally, PhD in Medicine holders often find fulfilment in teaching, mentoring, and shaping the future of medical science. 

The benefits and drawbacks of doing PhD in Medicine are as follows:Benefits of Doing a PhD in Medicine:Enables advanced research in medical Science and healthcare.Opportunities to contribute to the development of new treatments and therapies.This can lead to academic roles, such as teaching and supervising future medical professionals.Opens doors to leadership positions in medical research institutions.High potential for career growth in specialised fields like immunology, pharmacology, or neurology.Drawbacks of Doing a PhD in Medicine:Requires a significant time commitment (typically 3-5 years or more).Intense focus on research with limited patient interaction.May have a lower immediate income compared to clinical practice (MD/MS).Can be mentally and emotionally taxing due to the high expectations and rigorous demands of research.Limited job availability in certain specialised fields outside of academia or research.

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. While MBBS graduates are clinical doctors, PhD holders are considered experts in their research domains.
