Significados de Doctor em português

Le mot "doctor" en anglais désigne principalement un professionnel de la santé, souvent un médecin, qui est qualifié pour diagnostiquer et traiter des maladies. Ce terme est utilisé dans divers contextes, notamment dans les soins de santé, l'éducation et les discussions informelles.

  • "I need to see my doctor for a check-up." (J'ai besoin de voir mon médecin pour un examen de routine.)
  • "She is a doctor specializing in pediatrics." (Elle est médecin spécialisée en pédiatrie.)

En dehors du domaine médical, le terme peut également s'appliquer à des personnes qui détiennent un doctorat dans un domaine académique. Par exemple :

Le mot est généralement utilisé dans un contexte formel lorsqu'il s'agit de se référer à un professionnel de la santé ou à une personne ayant un doctorat.
