Do we know that for a fact? Has he been to University on Earth? I thought the Doctor was a name he was given/ had chosen on Gallifrey, how do we know what field of study it refers to?

The Doctor once claimed to be a Doctor of Everything. (Utopia)
He does seem to know a fair bit about medicine though.

It might be. I assume what you're thinking of is "My colleague is a doctor of medicine and I'm a doctor of many things. If we could examine..." from Revenge of the Cybermen?
What they were trying to do was to recreate James Cameron's 'The Abyss' revival, a heart rending scene.
To get out of an impossible underwater situation Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio asks ex husband Ed Harris to let her drown, get her out and revive her later.

I dont think he has any medical qualification. whatever he may or may not say . He is a chancer. A bit of a dodgy geezer. But he is bright and probably knows first aid. you would have thought he might have stepped in when he saw amy making such a hash of the CPR. it seemed all he needed was hollywood CPR. which was lucky.
edit : and of course amy signed the consent form (was it a vogon ship ? bit fussy about the red tape ?)
