German to English
Medical
Context is a CV. I know that Dr. med stands for Doctor medicinae, but is it the direct German equivalent of MD as in the US? It also appears in a review concerning an article written by the Dr. med. Thanks in advance.

Selected
Dr. med. OR MD
In the context of a CV (unless it is just in reference to an article written by the job applicant), distinguishing between the titles can be(come) an important issue.
At the discretion of the Kultusminister (Germany) and the Secretary of Education (US), and based on certain criteria that must have been fulfilled, each of these two nations allows to carry the corresponding national title and work in the profession. Sometimes it is required, though, that the incumbant may perform a(nother) practicle year prior to receiving said permission.

Comment: "Thanks, Roland, I too think it is necessary to make a distinction. Otherwise I could be misleading or give the impression that the person has studied state-side when he has not. "

: The qualification is equivalent, whether one maintains the German title or not is a matter of convenience.

I agree. For a review article in a science journal, the original title (Dr. med.) could stand. It would be understood. However, review articles are frequently read by professional from other specialties...

Yes
The courses may be subtly different (they always are), but the qualifications are equivalent.
