"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…
