Translation: George is a doctor.

Why not طبيب instead of دكتور?

[ConchiCastillo]

Both دكتور and طبيب seem to be interchangeable. As in many other cultures, medical practitioners are usually called 'doctors' in the Arab world, even though they don't necessarily have a doctorate. Please feel free to correct me.

[MicleBrick]

I did some more research and it seems that طبيب is used for medical doctor while دكتور is also for people with a doctorate, like how Dr. Is used in English in general

[PumkinPhsyco42]

Oh yeah now i understand

[deactivated user]

In standard arabic
Tabib is used for
1. all people who cure other people ( doctor, practitioner, physician,nurse..etc)

Dktoor applies only for people with PhD degree.

In spoken arabic
Tabib is used RARELY, we use Dktoor instead of Tabib for both cases

[Beaumolo]
