Robert’s Answer
A PhD is not needed to become an ObGyn. You must earn either an MD (Doctor of Medicine) or a DO (Doctor of Osteopathy) degree. (Or the equivalent from a foreign medical school + certification by the Educational Commission for Foreign Trained Medical Graduates). One must also complete an ObGyn residency and pass licensing and board certification exam.
