French term or phrase: doctorat d'Etat en médecine
This appears in a CV.

Can I just assume it's a "diplôme d'État de docteur en médecine" ie the usual qualification

The information I find is contradictory, some say all doctors in France have the "doctorat" as a matter of course, others imply otherwise.

Doctor of Medicine
Explanation:
With the French in parentheses after the English.

But note:
"Confusingly the title of doctor (docteur) is used only by the medical and pharmaceutical practitioners who hold not a doctorate but a doctor's state diploma (diplôme d'État de docteur), which is a first-degree and professional doctorate obtained after at least 9 years of studies. As they do not pursue research studies, they are not awarded a doctorate."

neutral  B D Finch: That is a word-for-word translation, which doesn't work as it doesn't refer to any equivalent in English.
