English translation: Doctor of Medicine

Spanish term or phrase: Médico
I would like to know what exactly is the translation of "Médico" as it appears in a university diploma. I believe is "Medical Doctor" and not "Physician". The context would be "...recibió el título de Médico y Cirujano".
Please clarify. Thanks
Ignacio
English translation:Doctor of Medicine
Explanation:
The degree is that of "Doctor of Medicine." In the United States physicians usually indicate their title by writing the initials M.D. (stands for Medicinae Doctor) after their name. (Ex.: John Doe, M.D.)
Physician is a colloquial term, and it does not belong in the diploma.

In your case, it could be translated as: he/she received the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Depending on which country the document comes from, the "cirujano" part may be included in the Doctor of Medicine degree.

Doctor of Medicine


Explanation:
I think this sounds like the most likely academic title. Is is definitely not physician.

Try the URL for the University of Granada, they have a medical school there.
I hope this helps.
