Residents are, actually, to be called "Doctor." They have graduated from medical school with their MD (or whatever medical degree they were pursuing), and so have earned the "Dr." in front of their names. However, in some jurisdictions, they must complete a residency before being able to practice, even if they have the degree. So, yes, you would call a resident "Dr. So-and-So" even if he/she isn't the supervising physician.
