After completing an undergraduate degree in medicine, are you really a doctor?

Sort of. You can be an almost-family doctor; that is, you'll have most responsabilities one has. If you want to become a full-family doctor, you do your residency. If, however, you plan on becoming a specialist, you must do a residency.

So to actually practice, you do a residency, but even without one you're a doctor who really shouldn't be practicing?

As I said, you can practice without doing a residency but you'll only be able to do some family medicine stuff.
