Abstract:
There are only a few Doctors of Philosophy (PhDs) in Biomedical Sciences from Pakistan and there are a number of misconceptions in our country regarding them. This may be due to a lack of knowledge regarding the existence of available programmes or a lack of will or interest in acquiring such a degree. While several PhD programmes exist all over the world, such programmes are lacking in our region even though the Higher Education Commission (HEC) is trying to promote PhD through multiple means and resources. This review discusses the concepts of academicians and clinicians about a PhD, especially in Biomedical Sciences; importance of such a programme; whether Pakistan should have this programme; state of current PhD holders and companies that employ them in well-developed countries e.g. the United States of America. At the same time it also emphasises the need for supervisors to be interested in and promoting availability of PhD programmes, and recognising that there are very few qualified supervisors who have a research experience at an international level.
