What does PhD stand for?
PhD is an abbreviation for "Doctor of Philosophy" (Philosophiae Doctor).The reason for the name is historical. Most universities used to have only four majors: divinity, law, medicine, and philosophy. All other modern subjects (such as physics, English, math) were part of philosophy, and so most subjects still use PhD as their doctoral degree.To receive a PhD you first must receive a BA or BS degree (4 year undergraduate degree). You then apply for a Master's degree and then apply to be accepted to a PhD program. Some PhD programs combine the Master's and PhD into one.

What courses are needed to obtain a doctorate degree and Ph.D?
That is not a degree. That is a person who has two different degrees. The MS stands for Master of Science. That is one degree. The PhD stands for Doctor of Philosophy. That is a different degree. Since the PhD is a more advanced degree and is obtained after a person gets the masters degree, a person does not list his degrees that way. When you see them listed that way, the MS is frequently in a different subject or area of study than the PhD and was not a part of the PhD program.
Does a medical doctor hold a Ph.D?
No. Medical doctors in the USA (e.g. physicians) receive the professional training degree of MD or OD (Osteopathic Doctor). In contrast, a PhD is a higher academic degree based on philosophy, or research. A PhD does not prescribe medicine. A medical doctor may have a PhD, especially those that perform medical research, but most do not. If an individual has both an MD and a PhD they would list them in that order after their name (PhD listed last as it is the highest degree). A medical doctor holds a Doctor of Medicine diploma. Both Ph.D. and MD are doctorate degrees, so they're equal.
