'Врач' (vrach) comes from the Old Slavic word meaning 'one who treats or heals.' Its usage has persisted, especially in the context of medical professions.
'Врач' is primarily a formal term used in medical contexts but is also used informally when referring to healthcare professionals in conversation.
