Doctor in Pharmacy / in Dermatology
'Doctor' may be a professional degree as well as a research degree. So 'доктор фармацевтических наук', could be misleading. Wouldn't it be safer to leave the word 'doctor' out and and go with 'фармацевт', 'дерматолог' etc.?

MD, PhD –
'кандидат медицинских наук'?

Even more confusingly, 'doctors' go hand in hand with 'professors'.

The document is presumably written by a native speaker of French.
Wikipedia says that in France 'Today, the doctorate (doctorat) is a research-only degree. ... The title of doctor (docteur) can also be used by medical and pharmaceutical practitioners who hold a doctor's State diploma (diplôme d'État de docteur). The diploma is a first-degree.' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctorate)

Many thanks as ever.
