from my understanding, a "Doctor/a" is a general term for any sort of doctor, but usually one that you might go see in a office/clinic. A médico is usually only a medically trained person either a doctor, emt, first response/first aid attendent etc.

"Doctoro" isn't actually a word 
I think you may be referring to "doctor" and "doctora".
I believe that "médico" refers to a medical doctor, whereas "doctor" is someone who holds a doctorate degree.

It would also be the title of the medico. - BellaMargarita, Aug 18, 2011
