I used to call myself a "PhD candidate", and I guess universities might have a preference for one or the other of these terms, but they are all correct

Discussion
All PhDs are doctorates. Not all doctorates are PhDs.
Several professional schools offer doctorates that are not PhDs. These include Medicine (MD), Veterinary Medicine (DVM), Dental Science (DDS or DMD), Law (JD), Education (EdD or DEd), Divinity (DD) and business (DBA).
A doctorate is the highest degree awarded in a university. A PhD is a type of doctorate. PhD is the abbreviation for Doctor of Philosophy.
Search "doctorate vs phd", you'll find a lot more.
