I got the impression from somewhere that her interest is in cosmetic surgery..... Perhaps her business plan is starting her own clinic?

Thusfar it appears as if at least 3-4 of them have a passion for cosmetic surgery. |

I am a doctor and I have found the conversation regarding my job title interesting. Quote:
Surgeons are not called Drs yet they go through more training than a doctor.
Quote:
To qualify as a doctor in the UK you study for 5 years at University to get your MB ChB degrees (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery. Then they need to do a further year as a Junior House Officer (6 months in surgery 6 months in medicine) before going down any specialist route
Most Drs specialise in one subject and take further exams in that specialism, and if they do enough - they become a Fellow of the Royal College of whatever specialism that is. However - as stated above most hospital surgeons are like their fellow doctors known as Dr - only Consultants (in any specialism) are usually known as Mr (Mrs/ Miss) |

As above... Surgeons become Mr or Miss once they pass their MRCS Part B exam. They don't have to be a consultant to do this. In fact it's a requirement of progression to ST3 that this qualification be gained... Surgeons also don't like medics (I think the feeling in mutual) so they try and use Mr or Miss as much as possible in hospital
And Leah qualified in 2011 so she's FY1 or FY2 at most... Cosmetic surgery is WAY beyond her. |

I'm really perplexed as to why a qualified doctor would bother with the Apprentice .

Surgeons are all doctors.... They just choose to specialise in surgery as opposed to being GPs, dermatologists obstetricians etc. and most of them are known as Dr
Only Consultants ( of whatever specialism) are called Mr/ Mrs/ Miss whatever.... At uni I hung out with a few medics and dentists. Plenty of ribbing both ways. One point the dentists made is that they technically qualified as dental surgeons - so would be "Mr" when they graduated. 10 years on, I notice a lot of dentists now use "Dr" (as they are entitled to do) because the ignorant public assumed the lack of title meant they qualified at the local college. Some people don't deserve help - the general 'proud to be ignorant and don't I love X Factor' public I mean |

The whole Doctor, Mister business in the medical profession is daft.
The general public respect the title Dr and ALL medically qualified people should use this title because every Tom, Dick and Harry is entitled to be called Mr. |

I noticed on the BBC website's profiles of the candidates they don't give their educational qualifications . This is the first year this has happened because it was always interesting to read their educational background .
Is educational background no longer important to LS and the BBC ? Judging by the fiasco the girls and Tim made of some simple maths they need to think again. Its a bit odd that nothing is on offer on education, but that may be so he can dispose of people without looking as if its because of their education - or just because no one bothered. If you venture onto linkedin you find Leah has a University of East Anglia Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) with a Distinction. Jordan has a BA, in Philosophy and Modern Languages, from Oxford. Zee went to Nottingham Business School Natalie went to Italia Conti Alex has a BTEC National "Dimploma (sic) in Multimedia", with Distinction. Kurt went to Wirral Met FE college. And elsewhere a simple search reveals Jason is listed still as graduate student in the Hellenic studies department of Kings College London doing a PhD, after a history degree at Oxford and an MA at Kings. . |

One of those curisities of the UK.
To qualify as a Doctor of medicine (PhD) you go through training and exams. Then you take further exams to become a surgeon. Historically Doctors and Surgeons followed different paths (surgeons didn't require any formal training in medicine and were refered to as Mr (Mrs Miss)) As a throwback now if you get your PhD you become "Doctor" yet revert to Mr (Mrs / Miss) once qualified as a surgeon. That requires a first degree, and then another degree |

However, as you rightly pointed out she does not have a doctorate. However (again
), it is not bizarre that she is called doctor, for reasons above. People train to become doctors. What else would you call them? |

Medics. Or even quacks. They need to sort their house out so that only people with doctoral level qualifications can call themselves doctor. The backwards hierarchy thing is way past its sell-by date.
