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.
Contracted Dr or Dr., it is used as a designation for a person who has obtained a doctorate-level degree (i.e.. Ph.D., Ed.D). In contrast, M.D. and D.O. degrees are vocational degrees and thus not considered doctoral degrees.hough lawyers in the United States do not customarily use such a title, the law degree in that country is the Juris Doctor, a professional doctorate, and some J.D. holders in the United States use the title of doctor in professional and academic situations.
