Médico/a y Doctor/a
Just making sure, generally, médico/a would be the translation for doctor, and doctor/a is usually used for those that have some degree, right?

Yes, the distinction between médico and doctor is correct. With the word "médico" is is almost always "el médico" or "la médico" depending on gender. "la médica" is not used as far as I know.

Look at this:
- Me encuentro mal. Voy a ir al médico - ¿Cómo se llama tu médico? - Es el Doctor Alvarez.

In Central America, they always mixed the two. I actually believe I heard doctor more than I heard médico.
