Comparison
The D.H.Sc. has been compared in course content to the Doctor of Public Health (DrPH), Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), and Doctor of Philosophy in Health Science (PhD) degrees, but distinguishes itself from these degrees in focus and dissertation requirements. Furthermore, Master's credentialed paramedical professionals (i.e., Respiratory Therapist, Radiology technologist, Athletic trainer, Physical therapy, Occupational Therapy), advanced practice clinicians/diagnosticians with Master's degrees as well as mid- and executive-level healthcare administrators and educators are drawn to the D.H.Sc. credential in effort to advance their careers toward top executive echelons and academic appointments.

Famous quotes containing the word comparison:
“From top to bottom of the ladder, greed is aroused without knowing where to find ultimate foothold. Nothing can calm it, since its goal is far beyond all it can attain. Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality is therefore abandoned.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
“[Girls] study under the paralyzing idea that their acquirements cannot be brought into practical use. They may subserve the purposes of promoting individual domestic pleasure and social enjoyment in conversation, but what are they in comparison with the grand stimulation of independence and self- reliance, of the capability of contributing to the comfort and happiness of those whom they love as their own souls?”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“When we reflect on our past sentiments and affections, our thought is a faithful mirror, and copies its objects truly; but the colours which it employs are faint and dull, in comparison of those in which our original perceptions were clothed.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
