MD does NOT stand for medical doctor, although that's the common interpretation. MD is a Latin abbreviation, Medicinae Doctor. Its English translation is Doctor of Medicine. Similarly, a PhD stands for Philosophiae Doctor, or Doctor of Philosophy, not Philosophical Doctor. We don't use Latin much anymore, so we assign the letters a reasonable English equivalent medical doctor.
To obtain a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) type of medical degree, one must go through 4 years of college and perform very well (GPA ~ 3.5 - 4.0); then the candidate must spend 4 y â¦ ears in medical school-upon graduation from medical school, an individual has earned a MD.
