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.
When itâs time to choose a doctor, you may notice that some physicians have a DO behind their name instead of an MD. The DO stands for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, and just like a medical doctor (or MD), they are fully trained and certified to provide exceptional health care.
