Looks like
doctor
a medical doctor; or a person with a PhD
⚠️ The trap
In Italy, 'dottore' is used by everyone with a university degree — even a BA. In English, 'doctor' means either a medical professional or someone with a PhD. An Italian with a three-year degree would not be called 'doctor' in English.
To say "a medical doctor; or a person with a PhD" in Italian:
N/A
"dottore" in English means:
a person with any university degree; also a medical doctor
Example
"Dopo la laurea triennale puoi usare il titolo di dottore."
