Yes, BHMS course graduates are legally entitled to be called "Doctors" in India. After completing the Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery (BHMS) course, they are recognised as homeopathic doctors. The title of "Doctor" is granted as they are qualified to practice homeopathy, diagnose medical conditions, and prescribe homeopathic medicines. However, it is important to note that while they can be called "Doctor," their practice is limited to homoeopathic medicine and does not include the prescription of allopathic treatments unless they pursue further qualifications.

The BPT course is not a traditional medical doctor's degree like MBBS, but it does grant graduates the title of “Doctor” (Dr.) in a professional capacity. Physiotherapists specialize in rehabilitation, physical therapy, and pain management without prescribing medicines or performing surgeries. Upon completing the BPT course and obtaining a license from the respective state council, graduates can use the prefix “Dr.” before their names.

Both a PhD and an MBBS holder can be referred to as 'Doctor', but they have different roles and expertise. An MBBS degree qualifies someone to practice medicine and treat patients as a medical doctor. They diagnose, prescribe treatments, and perform surgeries.

A dermatologist is primarily a medical doctor specializing in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the skin, hair, and nails. While dermatologists are not surgeons in the traditional sense, they are trained to perform various surgical procedures when necessary. These include skin biopsies, excision of skin cancers, mole removal, and certain cosmetic surgeries such as laser treatments or dermabrasion. However, more complex procedures, like reconstructive surgery, are typically handled by dermatologic surgeons or plastic surgeons who have additional specialised training.
