[DEF] “Doctor of Medicine (MD, from the Latin Medicinæ Doctor meaning "Teacher of Medicine") is a doctoral degree for physicians (medical doctors). The degree is granted by medical schools. A medical doctor practices the ancient profession of medicine, which is concerned with maintaining or restoring human health through the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disease or injury. This properly requires both a detailed knowledge of the academic disciplines (such as anatomy and physiology) underlying diseases and their treatment — the science of medicine — and also a decent competence in its applied practice — the art or craft of medicine”. (Source: Wikipedia). [SA] MEDICAL DOCTORS may be GERONTOLOGISTS, NEUROLOGISTS, NEUROSURGEONS, PSYCHIATRISTS, and RADIOLOGISTS according to their main specialty. “A specialty in medicine is a branch of medical science. After completing medical school, physicians or surgeons usually further their medical education in a specific specialty of medicine by completing a multiple year residency. Medical practitioners who engage in a medical specialty are known as medical specialists”. (Source: Wikipedia).
