I assume you are asking whether a doctor of medicine (MD) can obtain a Ph.D. Yes, an MD can obtain a PhD. In fact there are medical school programs where a student can obtain an MD & Ph.D. at the same time. This degree contains emphasis on research in addition to the medical training. One final comment: individuals with Ph.D.'s are in fact "doctors"...it is unfortunate that the term "doctor" is reserved for those practicing medicine!
