Spanish term or phrase: titulo de licenciado en medicina y cirugia
This is from Spain. I think it would be an undergraduate, B.S. degree, but on the diploma it says that this degree autorizes him to practice the profession. So is a licenciado de medicina in Spain teh equivalent to Dr in medicine in the U.S.?

MD = Medical Doctor: possibly MD, PhD (John Doe, MD, PhD)
Explanation:
Yes, it certainly is a physician, more likely to be analogous to an MD than to a DO (for USA).

A physician "licenciado" in Spain and Latin America is usually someone who has pursued further education after medical school. Here in the US an additional title after MD would probably be a PhD.

Good luck
Elena, MD

...... Re: the \"cirugía\" part, most likely it has remained in the official professional title from another era, when, upon finishing medical school, a doctor was automatically a surgeon. Many medical schools in Latin America still provide the title of \"médico cirujano\" when indeed the real credentials are those of \"médico\" -period.

You may want to consult with your client re: the \"cirugía\" part (my guess is it shouldn\'t be included in the translation, since for English-speaking countries the \"surgeon\" part would mean \"ability to perform a surgical intervention\", which is rarely the case for a \"licenciado en medicina y cirugía\"....).

Cheers :-)

Medical doctor
Explanation:
I have to give credit for what's written below to Dr. Elena Sgarbossa, a ProZ contributor who answered this question a couple of years ago. In my years of experience, I've found this to be true, I've translated many credentials for doctors from Spain and Mexico. The title says "surgeon", but they aren't trained in Surgery.
