No, In India, an acupuncturist is not typically considered a doctor in the traditional sense. 

While acupuncturists are trained professionals with specialised knowledge in acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), they do not hold medical degrees such as MBBS or MD, which are required to be recognised as medical doctors. 

They are licensed or certified in their specific field of acupuncture and are recognised for their expertise in providing holistic and alternative treatments. However, they do not have the same legal status or scope of practice as medical doctors in India.

No Radiology graduates are not considered a doctor.  Radiology graduates are only professionals who operate machines and not prescribe medicines to patients. 

To become a doctor, candidates go for MBBS and go through a tough curriculum of medicine education.

Hope it helped in solving your doubt! All the best!

No, a graduate with a Diploma in Pharmacy (D Pharm) is not typically referred to as a doctor. The title of "doctor" is usually reserved for individuals who have completed a doctoral-level degree such as Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD), MD (Doctor of Medicine), PhD (Doctor of Philosophy), or other doctoral degrees. 

Graduates with a D Pharm degree usually hold the title of pharmacist or pharmacy technician, depending on their specific role and responsibilities within the field of pharmacy.

No candidates cannot become a doctor if they have done only BSc Nursing. But they can apply for MBBS after BSc Nursing if they really want to become a doctor.

For MBBS, they will have to sit for NEET UG and also pass it. And that is how after pursuing MBBS, they can become a doctor.

There is no direct way of becoming a doctor after only BSc Nursing.

So, straight up—you can't become a doctor just by doing B Pharma. Pharmacy isn't the same thing as being a doctor. To actually call yourself a doctor, you need an MBBS, BDS, or an Ayush degree like BAMS, BHMS, or BUMS, plus any other required certifications.

MBBS is the main route. It is a 4-year UG course (includes 6-month internship). To get in, you need to clear NEET, be at least 17, and have finished Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. 

Yes, a BDS course is considered a professional doctorate in the field of dentistry. 

Individuals who complete the BDS course are known as dentists or dental surgeons. While they may not be medical doctors (i.e., physicians), dentists are doctors in the sense that they hold a doctoral-level degree in their field and are licensed healthcare professionals trained to diagnose and treat oral health issues. 

They are qualified to perform various dental procedures, including dental examinations, fillings, extractions, root canals, and other treatments related to oral health and hygiene.

You can surely use 'Dr.' if you have a BDS degree and are registered with Dental Council of India (DCI). Doctor title is used to acknowledge those who have completed a doctoral course in dentistry.

But you should keep one thing in mind that its use may differ on basis of specific country or region.

Yes a BDS graduate is a doctor but they are a specialist doctor specifically for the mouth, teeth and jaw. But they are different from those doctors who precribe medicines for general illness.
Doctors study human anatomy and medicine for 5 years (including an internship) and they have the license to treat patients, perform surgeries and also prescribe medication.
But Dentists specializes in teeth and oral health.

Yes, BAMS doctor can do hospital management course or MBA in Hospital or Healthcare Management. Many schools don't only take MBBS but also let BAMS grads and other candidates coming from different healthcare courses join course.
