Best Answer

No. In the U.S. the license to practice medicine is granted independently by each state. The degree "Doctor of Medicine" (M.D.) or "Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine" (D.O.) is granted by a college or university with an accredited medical school. Therefore, if a doctor loses his licence, loses his authorization to practice in that particular state, not his title or degree. The same thing would happen if an nurse lost his/her license. They would no longer be a registered nurse, but they would still have their degree (BSN, MSN, etc.)
