El-Sayed calls himself a physician…Under Michigan’s Public Health Code (Act 368 of 1978), calling yourself a "physician" requires an active license, not just a medical degree. Here is how the law breaks it down:* The Definition (MCL 333.17001): Legally, a "physician" is explicitly defined as someone licensed or authorized to practice medicine.* The Restriction (MCL 333.17011): It is illegal to use titles like "physician" or "M.D." to falsely induce the belief that you are authorized to practice.* The Penalty (MCL 333.16294): Holding oneself out as a practicing health professional without an active license is classified as a felony.While anyone with a degree can say they graduated medical school, using the title "physician" in Michigan requires a state license to back it up.
