And MD is to biology as an engineer is to physics. Sure, you need to understand the fundamentals to get the degree, but much of the practical application does not require actually understanding the actual theory. For example, as an engineer, I don;t really have to understand, or even "believe" particle physics, at least, not for the kind of engineering I do. For the most part, Newtonian physics is suitable for everything I do.
