This is one reason I get creeped out whenever I see government try to define anything. Like when government gives special privileges to journalists, for example: who is and is not a journalist?

Does the feeling extend to doctors? Is it a bad idea that they need to be licensed?

Yes. It's actively harmful to certain forms of alternative medicine.
The free populace is infinitely more capable of determining who is and is not a safe medical practitioner than the government is. And let me note that the market can and does also establish its own certification programs. Three to five such programs for various fields of medicine would probably emerge, but the important thing is that the potential would be there for new ones to be established.
