Yes, although the title is rarely used outside of academia. The title of "doctor" is not exclusive to the Doctor of Medicine. All holders of research and professional doctorates are entitled to use title of "doctor".

Although many people do not realize it, those who have earned a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree are entitled to use the title of Dr. However, because so many older lawyers do not possess this degree, use of the title is rare outside of academia.

Note of interest:Dr. Cyril Wecht, author, teacher, forensic pathologist uses the J.D. after the M.D. in his title.
