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:
“Most parents aren’t even aware of how often they compare their children. . . . Comparisons carry the suggestion that specific conditions exist for parental love and acceptance. Thus, even when one child comes out on top in a comparison she is left feeling uneasy about the tenuousness of her position and the possibility of faring less well in the next comparison.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“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)
“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)
