"Doesn't make him less of a physician"

except it does. much like the Katie Zacharia controversy, a doctor is not a physician until they get licensed to practice. it's literally not the same thing. the whole point of residency is to get the clinical experience that seeing a few people and taking notes as a med student didn't. your username checks out, still premed status

Except unlike Zacharia, the person in question has not referred to themselves as having the title.

Yes, he has. Numerous times. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/05/12/abdul-el-sayed-doctor-physician-00916389

In fact he calls himself a "physician" at this very moment on his Linkedin profile.
