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.
The order of college degrees is Associates, Bachelors, Masters, PhD, MD and JD. A Bachelors degree would be higher than an Associates degree.
No, obtaining a master's degree does not automatically confer the title of "doctor" upon an individual. The title of "doctor" is typically reserved for those who have earned a doctoral degree, such as a Ph.D., MD, or JD.
There are different doctors. To be a medical doctor, you would have an MD or DO. A doctor of veterinary medicine is a DVM. A dentist may be a DDS or DMD.

Viper1 Many universities do offer MD programs where you can also earn another post-bachelors degree with them. Some examples are: MD + Juris doctor (law degree) MD + Masters of Public Health MD + MSW (Masters of Social Work) MD + MBA (masters of business administration) I know that Indiana University offers the above degree combos, and many other med schools also offer a medical degree with a degree in an outside field.
Both are intensive degree programs.
