I think MD is on a par with a PhD. PhD stands for Doctor of Philosphy and MD stands for Doctor of Medicine. I believe they are equal in status.

Not to get all “Nancy Pelosi” on you, but that is not correct. I had an MD aquaintance that was convinced the MD was the highest degree and would disparage mere PhD colleagues as his inferior. He had to eat crow when after being challenged to look into the subject found that in fact the PhD was the higher degree and the MD merely a professional certification. He was such an @zz.
