will i be called "Doctor Jacinta" if I have completed my PharmD Degree?

Answer 1

I guess it depends if your name is Jacinta or not. :) My PharmD friends typically don't use their title "Dr." at work or on their business cards. They just add the PharmD to their cards. I know PharmD's who teach often use Dr., but I think it's more common in academics. Outside of academics and medicine, I think use of the work Dr. can get confusing. My aunt still tells people I'm studying to be a doctor because I'm in a PhD program and I made the mistake of saying that I can't wait until the day I'm called Dr. She gets so disappointed that you'd think I had actually flunked out of medical school! You can ask people to call you Dr. if you want though. It will be true and it feels good too...so I hear:)

Answer 2

You can be called Dr. Jacinta, Dr. E, Dr. Enriquez (I made up the last name) if you have any Doctorate degree. Bill Cosby is a Doctor of Education and can be called Dr. Cosby. Attorneys have Juris Doctorates and can be called doctors but prefer you don't. They sue doctors.

Answer 3

I would think so. Some people I know have been called doctors after receiving their Bachelors Degree in Medicine. In formal situations you should be called ( out of respect) a doctor.

Answer 4

I work with lots of pharmacists, and we dont call them doctor. I guess it depends on the people you work with.

Answer 5
