Best Answer

MD is an abbreviation for the degree conferred on a person who completes the requirements of a medical school; the notation refers to the type of degree attained, and is not a title for the individual: Doctor of Medicine.

JD is the abbreviation for the degree conferred on a person who completes the requirements of a law school; again, the notation refers to the degree and not the person: Juris Doctor.
