A doctor (MD) is a medical professional who has completed medical school and earned a Doctor of Medicine degree. A physician (DR) is a broader term that can refer to any medical professional who provides healthcare services, including doctors, surgeons, and specialists.
The main difference between a medical doctor (MD) and a doctor of philosophy (PhD) is their area of expertise. MDs are trained to diagnose and treat medical conditions, while PhDs are experts in a specific academic field and conduct research. The role of a doctor (Dr.) varies between these two professions in that an MD uses their title to indicate they are a licensed physician, while a PhD uses it to show they have earned a doctoral degree in their field of study.
DO in a physician's title stands for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine.
There is no functional difference between Dr. and DR. Both are used as titles for people who hold the degree of Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Science (DSc), or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), or any other doctoral level academic degree. The preferred form is "Dr." when using mixed case.
You do not and the assistant should correct you if you do and they do not hold a qualifying medical qualification. "Dr." can be used to designate a qualified physician (a medical doctor with a BSc in medicine) or a person with a PhD postgraduate degree (a Doctor of Philosophy).
