In the US it's similar to what Acacia says. a medic is for emergency first aid only - and is not nearly as highly trained as a doctor. Also, we mostly mostly use "paramedic." "Medic" alone makes me think of someone in the military.

This one can differ from place to place. In the US, a medic could be a Paramedic as in a first responder - the first medical personel on scene to help stabilize you before further transport to a hospital. In military terms, you can have a field medic, an infantryman who's job is to save lives, whether that's controlling bleeding, drug administration, or tourniquet, etc. That would be considered a medic, Hacksaw Ridge, the main character is a medic.
A Doctor is someone who has been through 4 years of medical school. At that point they are technically a doctor, though they require a 2-4 year residency, and depending on their specialization, 3 to 4+ years as a fellow. It's primarily a difference in education and specialization.
A medic is generally a front line worker, a doctor can be front line, Trauma or ER(ED) doctor, but most doctors are not front line, but usually work in an office of some sort.
If that doesn't quiet clarify it, I can go into more details if you need/want them.

I don't know if this is the same everywhere, but in Australia 'medic' can be used as a shortened word for 'paramedic', meaning someone who gives emergency medical care, often working in an ambulance or the army.

hi there! when we use the term “doctor” we wanna say it referred to a person (more like “i am gonna see doctor william”) and for “medic” it’s more for who is engaged in medical work or study
