The Dem US senate candidate in MI has recently been caught lying about being a physician AND epidemiologist recently (two lies on the resume works better than one, right?) and taken down his false claims from his website. It turns out that he was telling UM same thing. He flat out lies about being a physician and epidemiologist. But there’s more here….

El Sayed has also denied charges that he said that he wants to defund the police…

But here is this old video from continuing medical education where he is caught in both lies at once.

El Sayed has since retreated to the claim that he didn’t say the words “defund the police” but merely described what needs to happen and how (which was defunding the police).
So he is arguing that he never said the words “defund the police”, just that he recommended the action of defunding them.

Meanwhile,UM medical education is facing heat over not vetting his resume before passing him off as an expert.

Yes. Someone who has graduated from medical school and has been awarded a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree is a doctor in the academic sense—they have earned a doctoral degree in medicine and may use the title "Dr."

However, there are a few distinctions:

MD graduate: They have completed medical school and earned the MD degree, so they are a physician by education.
Licensed physician: To independently practice medicine, they must also complete the required postgraduate training (such as a residency, depending on the country) and obtain a medical license.
Resident physician: After medical school, many MD graduates enter residency. They are still doctors and provide patient care under varying levels of supervision while completing specialty training.

So, in common usage, someone who has graduated from medical school with an MD is a doctor. Whether they can practice independently depends on whether they have met their jurisdiction's licensing and training requirements

p.s. Stop being jealous because this "socialist" is smarter than you!

By the way, I'm a doctor as well...in the academic sense. Not once have I ever called myself a doctor in public. Not once. Seems like you are arguing a ridiculous technicality.
