Selected

Physician and Surgeon

Plain and simple, "Physician and Surgeon", he/she can also operate but is not a specialist in anything yet; no brain or open heart surgery please.

In Mexico the title is "Médico Cirujano y Partero" because he/she can also deliver babies, though not specialized as an obstetrician.

agree tnkw (X) : Before translating this term into AmE or BrE, it would help to know exactly what qualifications and experience a 'médico cirujano' requires. This translation appears to be the safest.

Gracias, Tnkw. In Mexico, anyway, it is the basic medical degree, again often including "partero". After that comes the specialization for those so desiring and able.
agree Yasser El Helw : I usually translate it as: Medical Doctor & Surgeon

thanks :)
agree HECTOR BOHORQUEZ : Soy venezolano. Medical Doctor sería lo más correcto. No es cierto que los médicos en Venezuela se gradúan como especialistas. El título dice "Médico Cirujano" pero en realidad NO pueden hacer cirugías sin antes graduarse en un posgrado de cirugía.

Physician.

No sé en Venezuela, pero en México, siempre es Médico Cirujano, es un título general. Physician, a secas, nada de doctor.
Peer comment(s):
agree Rene Ron : Esto es correcto. Mi hermana se graduó en Morelia, pero para Venezuela puede servir Physician/Surgeon

surgeon

por supuesto que para ser cirujano hay que ser médico y si bien ese es el título creo que no cabe duda con la traducción al inglés
