Qualifications printed on doctor\'s letter (Tunisian)
At the top of letter it says
Diplômé en Nutrition de l'obésité
Diplômé en Entretien motivationnel
Diplômé en Tabacologie

Is it likely that a doctor would have a Degree in all four specialisms?
Or should I translated 'Specialist in .....' for each?

Certified in...
This is how we would say it in the US. "Diploma" here is almost universally reserved for the fundamental milestones of education (high school diploma, university diploma [BA/BS]). Shorter courses that do not result in a BA/BS, master's degree, doctoral degree or equivalent (e.g. MD/medicine, JD/law) are usually called certifications, certificate programs or the like.
For instance: Graduate Certificates https://www.extension.harvard.edu/academics/graduate-certifi...

Degree in
'Diplômé en...' seeming pretty general, I think that just 'Degree in...' would do the trick
