You must have a slightly different system on your side of the pond.
A psychologist cannot become a a psychiatrist here without going to medical school & becoming a regular doctor as well (general practitioner).
Over here a GP calls them self a Dr, a surgeon or any other post doctoral medical provider like a psychiatrist or neurologist, calls them self Mr or Ms.
I am not sure what a vet is called, I think its Dr.

Its not important what they call them self, its how good they are. Google is a great way of finding all about medico's.
