Very much so.
Professional degree or not, probably more so in such programs from my own personal experience (I'm in one). Every possible method of cheating you can think of I've seen done. A personal favorite of mine (not for creativity, just due to the balls required to do it, knowing 100% you will be expelled from a doctorate program if caught) is a guy pulling out a large laptop under his desk and looking up all the answers (meaning he had to sift through various medical journal articles/studies, not just quickly google/wikipedia
)without being caught. (mind you, this was in a regular classroom, completely dead silent, with only ~30 people, sitting with an empty seat between each, and the professor + 2 proctors walking around the room the whole time). The guy ended up being kicked out a semester later for poor grades, but an absolutely legendary feat he pulled none the less.
You can't really judge/generalize unless you've been in those types of situations, because you will quickly learn that in some cases (depending on your school/professor/luck) it's completely understandable, even required, to cheat just to pass because what is being asked of you is completely irrelevant and serves absolutely no purpose but to make the course impossibly hard & thus weed people out. As far as completely cheating through everything... highly unlikely, and as previously mentioned, especially with a professional degree, you will be exposed very quickly after graduation.
