In between. It is a doctorate, which makes it closer in nature to the Ph.D; however, as degrees are ranked, the Ph.D. is considered a higher degree than the MD.

I'm not sure what you mean by equivalent. Apples and oranges. If you want to treat sick people, an MD is "better." If you want to be an expert in a given field that you want to dedicate your life to exploring, a PhD is "better." If you are looking to make your overbearing parents who need to project their own hopes and dreams on to you happy , then thats something none of us can tell you.

It's closer to a Master's.

A MD is nearly the equivalent but its just in a different field. a phD is a Doctor of philosophy...and you need this degree to teach most areas in universities or to be considered a researcher of the area...that applies to many fields such as business, social sciences (economics,sociology,pyschology). MD is just a Doctor of Medicine....so its comparable to PhD in the fact that you get the title of a doctor, but otherwise not much difference between that and a Masters.
