[quote=Anonymous]I think this is heavily driven by norms in different fields. I have a PhD, and in professional settings people usually (but not always) refer to me as Dr. When I saw patients (I'm a trained as a clinical psychologist), they typically did; if a child patient, they sometimes call me Dr. Larla. None of my close colleagues referred to me as Dr. I currently work in a research setting. When addressing colleagues who work outside of my organization for the first time, I always start emails with "Dear Dr.," whether they're an MD, PhD, or some other type of doctoral degree (ScD, etc.). After the first email or two, we all usually transition to first names. I've never, ever corrected someone who referred to me by my first name. That does seem a little atypical, and I'd be taken aback.[/quote]
