The initials PhD after a persons name stand for Doctor of Philosophy. It is a diploma of the highest order. Only those with PhDs can rightfully call themselves "Doctor". People with a PhD are often involved in scientific research, education or medicine, however there are many fields of study that culminate in PhDs, and many sub-categories to each field. A PhD can be very specific (It is possible to become a Doctor of brewing & winemaking, for instance), but usually requires high-level knowledge of several different disciplines.

Where do you put the comma with PhD?
The general rule is to place a comma after "PhD" when it is used as a suffix after a person's name (e.g., John Doe, PhD). However, if "PhD" is used in the middle of a sentence to describe someone's credentials, no comma is needed (e.g., John Doe has a PhD in Economics).
