doctor of medicine

As far as I know, it is a bachelor degree in both US and Canada.

Hi guys,

A bit more quibbling about some of the points mentioned . . .

A master's degree is normally a prerequisite for embarking on a PhD. However, it does not have to be an MSc.

I'd hesitate to say baldly that an MD is equivalent to more than a PhD. It depends very much on the circumstances, and on how you choose to compare and measure these things.
