MD

请问版上的MD们，你们考board，未来在美国当医生，或者已经在美国当医生的，你们的学位就只是中国的MD么？
我是中国的MD，以后也打算考board，现在正在纠结要不要在美国申请个PhD读读，有利于把语言和基础知识掌握好。

我不是MD
但我觉得读phd对语言和知识的提高都没什么帮助 反而让你时间很紧张不能全力考试

PHD跟医生这个职业没有任何关系，只会让你更哲学，思考得更多，老得更快

It depends on which department you are interested in.
For Neurology, Pathology, and some other fellowship programs like cardiology, a PhD degree will be quite helpful. But for family medicine and general internal medicine, PhD degree is not a big plus, but time comsuming as a drawback, maybe.

However, for most CMG, they do PhD and post doc and wait for green card to start residency application, which is why many CMG has a PhD. You know match with H1B is getting harder and harder, and most times no good hospitals. Some guys only want to go to good enough hospital and a nice big city, then they will need green card a lot.
