MC

This is about an orthopaedic surgeon:

John Brown, MD
CPT, MC, USA

I cannot work out what MC stands for.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Lara Barnett

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

In theory It could even mean "Christian Peacemaker Teams, Mennonite Church, USA":

"CPT, MC USA call for observances"

But "Captain, Medical Corps, USA" does seem more likely.

Medical Corps

Just a suggestion (but it seems to combine well with all "MD", "CPT" and "USA")

medical corps

Is he a doctor who works for the U.S. Army? I see that he also has CPT in his title which could mean captain. In that case, this abbreviation would stand for "medical corps"

Medical Corps OR Marine Corpse

Medical Corps OR Marine Corpse
It can be either. Therefore, you need to figure it out for the context.

neutral Javier Grande : I think that "Marine Corps" should be "USMC": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps
