English Translation
Is she a doctor?
As far as I know when someone asks about someone’s profession, there are no articles, so shouldn’t this be “Ist sie Ärztin”?
Yes, your proposal (without „eine") definitely sounds more natural.
The exception is if you’re using an adjective to describe her, in which case the article is needed:
Is she a good doctor? = Ist sie eine gute Ärztin?
Is she a famous doctor? = Ist sie eine berühmte Ärztin?
etc.
