I went to a med school in Ohio.
Seriously, having gone thru med school, and did the research route in undergrad, PhD is not nearly as respectable as a MD. I look at a PhD like a waste of 5 years of one's life. they research ONE topic for 5 years and write a paper on it. big deal. Does not mean they are smart, just spent an ungodly amount of time on one topic or question. You can get a PhD in anything, from studying a gene on a fruit fly, or studying the 'art' of a civilization that went extinct 1000 years ago...
