In Korea, medical education is structured so that after obtaining a basic medical degree, a doctor can immediately enter a doctoral program (PhD), bypassing a master’s degree. This is due to the emphasis on scientific research in medicine, and such a sequence of degrees is not an error but a feature of the educational system.
