Depends on the Ph.D? Some fluff humanities PhD from some third rate uni? Unlikely. Some top Ph.Ds in STEM fields (especially Physics), I believe it. Just from the people I know, the PhD people I know definitely seem more “intellectual” and just generally seem smarter than my med school friends. Like a lot of people in my class are smart, but theres definitely some people that make you wonder. There’s some smart doctors, but a lot of medicine is about pattern recognition and memorization. There’s obviously more to it, but there’s a difference in being able to write a thesis on chemical reactions and quantum physics vs memorizing all of First Aid and UWorld.
