Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) covers skilled nursing care provided in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) under certain conditions for a limited time. Medicare-covered services include, but aren't limited to: 1  Semi-private room (a room you share with other patients). 2  Meals.
The Doctor of Science degree (DSc or ScD) is recognized by the U.S. Dept. of Education as a research doctorate equivalent to the Ph.D. Sometimes, in the U.S., the Doctor of Science is awarded as an honorary degree. Outside the U.S. it is an earned doctorate (as me again states above).
The equivalent degree in the U.S. is the Doctor of Medicine (M.D.); schools that offer this degree include Harvard University, the University of Washington, Oregon Health and Science University, Duke university and the University of Pennsylvania.
