Prof. Dr. Med.
I would most certainly NOT translate this academic title, especially not in a cv!
J Schmidt presumably obtained his qualifications in Germany, hence he is entitled to call himself Prof. Dr. Med. - he is NOT entitled to call himself MD, PhD or whatever, even though these might be the ENglish speaking equivalents.
If you think an English speaker would have a problem understanding what Prof. Dr. Med. stands for (which I sincerely doubt!), by all means use the English language equivalents for explanation.

Dr. xxxxxx, M.D.
Professor is of secondary importance to being a medical doctor and is thus left out.

Hilary Davies Shelby
: i dont agree with that statement - the "prof" would probably be achieved after the MD, and as such is a higher designation

Heathcliff
: Umm, no on both counts. Academic status is well worth mentionind, especially in a CV. Second, because "Dr." and "M.D." are largely synonymous, in good English usage one NEVER uses both of them!

Prof. XXX, M.D.
I disagree that Prof. is of secondary importance to M.D. Not every M.D. is a prof. and every (or almost) every prof. in a medical college has a M.D. degree. In a CV you want to include all pertinent informtion.And note that there is a comma after the name.
