Depending on different countries, it will mean different things.

In New Zealand, a General Practioner is the lowest form of medical practice.

A Doctor of Medicine is someone who has a Doctorate Degree in Medicine (MD).

So mainly the difference is that one of them is a role while the other is a quanlification. For all we know, a GP could be a Doctor of Medicine.
