Врач is always доктор, but доктор might not be врач (for instance, доктор наук - Doctor of Science)

Доктор and врач are not completely interchangeable. When talking to a doctor you can call him доктор but never врач. Доктор also means a scientific degree (not only medical), while врач means doctor of medicine.
