Most states have laws (that are generally ignored) that say only those who are licensed may titled as "engineer".

Nonetheless... an MD will do a residency for some years - many if in a speciality, or sub-sub-sub-speciality. Also has to pass boards.
A scientist will do a post-doc for several years.
Even a lowly attorney will have to pass the bar and then work thru being an assoicate, etc.
