Ford is not an MD and cannot practice medicine; she is a teaching/research professor with a PhD. PhD's are typically called "Doctors", but they are not Medical Doctors. I don't believe Ford "has" patients or "treats" patients and therefore doesn't require being licensed.
You must be a licensed psychologist to consult/counsel patients in the domain of public health. Psychiatrists (certified Medical Doctors (MD's) who have gone to medical school) can prescribe drugs in the treatment of patients.
At my university, the teaching staff in the various faculties (who were PhD's) preferred being called "Professor" by the students, rather than "Doctor", it being a more prestigious term. Interestingly, my sister, an MD, said her instructors at med school were called "Doctor", rather than "Professor".
"I have a Doctor of Divinity, cost me $25 and a stamp. I don't call myself "Doctor"."
Good grief, I would hope not.
The woman is a verified liar and perjurer. The status of her Phd is unverified until positively proven with evidence.
First paragraph from the link I provided:
Testifying under oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Christine Blasey Ford (Fraud) identified herself as a ‘psychologist,’ but records indict this is a false statement under California law. Someone at Stanford University also appears to have caught the blunder and edited Ford’s faculty page.
