I don't know if you're referring to PhDs or MDs, but many medical doctors got their bachelor's in a liberal arts major. It's not at all uncommon nor unusual.
Out of the over a dozen medical doctors I know, all of their undergrads are a bachelor of science, and I can't think of a single one who has a bachelor of arts.
and yet they're called the medical arts
I'm a "man of learning" in so much that I spend all of my free time learning, it's nice to be able to have a competent discussion with anyone on any topic, I especially like to surprise guys who work in the trades.

Are you a man of science?
No, I am a paragon of pragmatism as well as an objective idealist and a scholastic realist.

Here in UK, where most of the English language that many of you speak originated, a 'man of the cloth' is an ordained minister of the church, not a 'preacher man' who need not necessarily have been received into holy orders.

I'm a "man of wood" since I'm a cabinetmaker, I kind of like that.

He's not a 'Man of Science', just a 'Science Guy'.

Well, sir, last time I looked, Amos Moses was a one-armed Cajun alligator hunter, and not any kind of ordained minister.
