Doctor medicinæ

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Doctor medicinæ or Dr.med. is a dcotoral research degree used in Denmark and Norway. The degree requires 4 years of scientific work by a person who is already a cand.med. (the same as an MD, approx. 6 years of studies). [1][2]

It should not be confused with the German degree Dr. Med. (Doktor der Medizin), which is not a degree at the same level. It should also not be confused with the entry-level professional degree MD, used in English-speaking countries.
