Yes, one may be referred to as “Doctor,” when they complete their education, and then receive a PhD. Obtaining one’s PhD in any field is not easy, and that accomplishment deserves respect. Occasionally, a medical doctor will take issue with doctorate degrees in other non-related fields; however, this is the highest level of education obtainable and we need these people in our universities to teach the next generation.
You can obtain a PhD in almost any academic subject, such as math, history, English, humanities and science. There are also specialized doctorates, such as MD’s [Medical Doctor], DVM [Doctor of Veterinary Medicine] and DDS [Doctor of Dental Surgery] and DMD [Doctor of Dental Medicine]. The dental degrees are the same; it just depends on what university you attend if you receive a DDS or a DMD.
When one has obtained a doctorate degree they should always be clear about what type of degree they hold. You would not want a math professor doing heart surgery! Yikes!

Anyone who has earned a PHD is entitled to call themselves Doctor. Medical doctors refer to PHDs as PHony Doctor, but technically they are still doctors. They just can't treat patients.
If you want to be a practicing doctor then you need to join a professional association like the American Medical Association.

Absolutely, but you would not be a medical doctor. You could, however, go to medical school and become a psychiatrist and become an MD through that.
