  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Doctor
Paul speaks of himself as a doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth (1 Timothy 2:7), and Doctor gentium is one of the titles given him in the liturgy.
The doctors themselves were not always anxious to exercise their prerogative; the teaching devolved in large measure upon the bachelors, and the masters were classified as regents (those who taught) and as nonregents, who were content with the prestige implied by their degree or were eager for other occupations.
Doctor doctorum, Scholasticus -- Anselm of Laon, 1117.

 Doctor (title) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Doctoral degrees may be "research doctorates," awarded on the basis of competency in research, or "taught doctorates" (also called "professional doctorates," because they are invariably awarded in professional subjects), awarded on the basis of coursework and adjunct requirements (if any) successfully completed by the conferee.
The degree and title "doctor" is often a prerequisite for permanent (or nearly permanent) employment as a university lecturer or as a researcher in some sciences, though this varies on a regional basis.

In smaller, less prestigious institutions, the fewer the earned doctorates, the more those who have them are likely to prefer the title.
Our universities are generous with honorary doctorates, and few people of any distinction or longevity in public life have failed to snare at least one or two of them.
We also have a long history of having used the title for quacks and pretenders, from purveyors of snake oil to piano players in wild western saloons.

 Doctor Zhivago (1965)
Perhaps this was because Yuri came across as something of a jerk to me. No, there’s nothing in his portrayal that made him appear that way, as he remains the stalwart dream man for much of the movie.
Doctor Zhivago appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this double-sided DVD-14; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
Doctor Zhivago definitely wasn’t David Lean’s best film, and I thought it was pretty good at best, but romance fans may be more fond of it than I was.

 Should Medical Students be called "Student Doctor"?
At the end of the day, the use of student doctor or medical student is a matter of preference and the latter is in no way misleading because the student is not withholding the fact that he is a student.
When I was seen by a Doctor with a Student present the Student was introduced as a Student Doctor, this was confusing as I did not understand if the Student was a Doctor under further study or simply a Student studying to become a Doctor.
By placing the word Student before the word Doctor a person is attempting to identify themselves as being in the field of Student and describe their possition in such field as Doctor.

 Doctor
The title "doctor" was not worn by medical men in Luke's time, but teachers were then called doctors.
Therefore, teachers were the first to be called doctors and the title was applied to medical men, perhaps because they were recognized as learned men.
Jesus' attitude toward the title is expressed in Matthew 23:10, in the Geneva Bible, the 1560 edition, in the following manner: "Be not called doctors: for one is your doctor, even Christ." Knowing how Jesus felt about wearing the title, it is not likely that Luke ever used the title in his lifetime.

Still, that doesn’t mean the doctor is always in: some clinics on smaller campuses, such as the clinic at Belmont Abbey College in Belmont, N.C., are only open part time.
Students and parents can assume that all the services available at a clinic or doctor’s office will, at the very least, be accessible to the student, if not always right on campus.

"Doctor Zhivago" certainly pulled off a coup by showing the conditions that led to the revolution: the czar's despotic rule, the crushing poverty, and forced conscription (especially since the generals cared nothing about the men under their command).
Then, of course, the Russian people thought that they would have a workers' society, but it didn't turn out that way.

Although medical doctors and some other health professionals with the above medical degrees are addressed as Doctor (e.g., Doctor Smith or Dr. Smith), medical degrees are not usually doctorates, except in the USA, where they are considered first-professional (as opposed to research-oriented) doctorates.
In an academic setting, where the educational background of the individual is of course salient, doctor is the term of address and title used by holders of a doctoral degree unless the holder has been appointed a professor, since this title usually supersedes the title doctor.
In certain countries, for members of certain professions, the title of doctor may be used even when the academic qualification of doctorate is not held: for instance, in Italy, for holders of a Laureate.
