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.
It may also be in medicine, or an M.D. The Ph.D. is distinguished from the M.D. degree by at least one distinct element: medical school. The M.D. or physician has typically gone to medical school, and the Ph.D. or psychologist has not attended medical school.
