Now I'm even more confused; McGill University's web page describes it as an undergraduate program in medicine:
The Faculty of Medicine offers a four-year undergraduate medical program leading to an M.D.,C.M. degree. (Abbreviation for Latin term: Medicinae Doctorem et Chirurgiae Magistrum). The curriculum objectives correspond to the Faculty of Medicine mission and aim to equip the student to meet the most stringent standards of medical practice and professionalism to ensure career-long excellence in whole-person care. Upon completion of the program, the graduate will be able to function responsibly, in a supervised clinical setting, at the level of an "undifferentiated" physician. The program emphasizes the fundamental sciences and scientific methodology as pillars of medical knowledge. It provides traditional lectures and small group teaching, as well as laboratory and computer teaching. ________________________________________ From: Jim Clark [[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, March 21, 2009 3:47 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: Re: [tips] "dangers" of drinking distilled water - critical thinking article Hi Here's an explanation of the degree terminology ... in fact appears to be standard MD (with a Scottish twist). http://www.premed101.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-4206.html My pessimistic nature led me to expect it might stand for something (scary) like Complementary Medicine, but not so. Of course, no one has ever seen a legitimate MD (or legitimate PhD in psychology) promote quack medicine! Take care Jim James M.

There is so much wrong with it (starting with the author's alleged MD, which must be something other than the "M.D." with which we're familiar), and I thought it might be new fodder for critical thinking.
