To obtain a doctorate in science, one typically needs to complete a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, and then a doctoral program. This involves conducting original research, writing a dissertation, and defending it in front of a committee of experts. The process can take several years to complete.
The highest academic degree one can earn after obtaining a doctorate is a postdoctoral degree, such as a postdoctoral fellowship or a postdoctoral research position.
Yes, obtaining a doctorate degree qualifies you to be called a doctor, but it does not necessarily mean you are a medical doctor.
No, obtaining a doctorate degree does not automatically qualify you as a medical doctor. A doctorate degree signifies expertise in a specific academic field, while a medical doctor is a licensed healthcare professional who has completed medical school and residency training.

A postdoctoral degree is a degree earned after obtaining a doctorate where the doctorate is a prerequisite necessary to pursue the degree. This is seen primarily with professional doctorates. For example, most dentists in the U.S. have a DDS degree, which stands for doctor of dental surgery. It is a professional doctorate, but there are at least two available postdoctoral degrees including a Ph.D., which is a research doctorate. Another example is in law. Attorneys in the U.S. graduate law school with a Juris Doctorate, or JD. There are two available postdoctoral degrees. One is the LLM, and the second is the JSD (or SJD). The SJD is the equivalent of a Ph.D. Put simply, sometimes a 'professional' doctorate is a prerequisite for obtaining a second 'research' doctorate.
To obtain a science doctorate, you typically need to complete a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, and a doctoral program in a specific scientific field. This involves conducting original research, writing a dissertation, and defending it in front of a committee of experts. Additionally, you may need to pass comprehensive exams and fulfill any other specific requirements set by the university or program.
