Love her or hate her, former Playboy Bunny and Singled Out host Jenny
McCarthy is donning a white coat for her new role: doctor. Her voice
for the fight to cure autism has earned McCarthy her medical degree
from Harvard Med.
The announcement comes just as McCarthy's fifth book, co-authored
with autism specialist Dr. Jerry Kartzinel, hits shelves. The work
behind Healing and Preventing Autism and McCarthy's extensive
research of the subject was subject of a face-off with science editor
Jeffrey Kluger this week in TIME Magazine.
But it's that work that has earned McCarthy the attention of
Harvard Med, one of the most respected institutions in America. They've
decided to grant McCarthy the degree not as an honorary title but with
full credentials. She will still have to pass the boards in order to
actually practice medicine.
Does the Harvard Med. seal of approval change your opinions of McCarthy?
