"can a PhD read studies?"  I say No, not unless a competent medical doctor (MD 
or DO) is willing to put his signature on that report in a timely fashion 
indicating that he/she has reviewed the study and interprets the findigs as 
such.. thereby rendering the PhDs "report" as little more than a prelim 
report.    More background would be helpful.  

For assumoptions sake, does said or hypothetical PhD carry malpractice/liability 
insurance to the same levels as an appropriate MD or DO would?

Along a similar thread, can a PhD read studies?  And if they did, say with the 
title of Technical Director and then billed Medicare as such for say, 10-15 
years, would/could that leave that facility open to penalties or whistleblower 
issues?
 
Hypothetically speaking of course…
