Spanish term or phrase: doctora en medicina
Is this a medical doctor (MD) or a MD / PhD?

The context is a diploma from La República Dominicana, but nothing else indicates whether this is a regular medical degree or a doctorate.

agree  Maria Mc Lean: I agree, sería médica o doctora
2 mins
  -> Muchas gracias!

disagree  Roxanna Delgado: Disculpa Marina, pero como "doctora en medicina" y dominicana que soy, tengo que estar en desacuerdo. Es simplemente el título que aparece en nuestro diploma luego de estudiar medicina. Así como en otros países les ponen "médicos cirujanos", etc.
2 hrs
  -> Irrefutable si eres dominicana. En Argentina, "doctor en.." se aplica sólo a profesionales que hayan alcanzado ese nivel de posgrado. El ´título que otorga la universidad (también on entre 6 y 8 años) es de MÉDICO

  -> Gracias Alicia!

agree  islander1974: Don't want to use PhD when "doctora" is used very loosely in the DR (as a sign of respect for a number of people who don't have doctorates at all). Medical doctor is a little safer with the little information you've given us.
