They actually don't call them doctor, because the lowest grade in medical school is an F and plenty of wannabe doctors flunk out every year.

"What do you call the person who graduated bottom of their class in medical school?"
(At least that's how I've heard it phrased before.)

A passing grade in a U.S. medical school is a 70% and they don't grade on a curve.

Anecdotal, but the passing grade is much higher in medical school than other programmes, like 70-75%. But interestingly, it's often pass/fail instead of grades.
