[quote=Anonymous]Congrats to your sister, OP! Just FYI, you don't sign your name Dr. Jane Smith, PH.D. A signature doesn't include the Dr. - just Jane Smith, Ph.D (or M.D. or CNP or Esquire, or whatever the degree is). She can introduce herself as Dr. Smith (though a lot of people really look down on that for anyone who isn't an MD or DDS. Personally I skip it because all it does is open you up to mocking and accusations of being pretentious. And, you know, while I have a Doctorate degree, I am not a doctor as that term is colloquially used. In my experience, most Ph.Ds do not use doctor). Anyway, it's not clear if you're just assuming that's how she'll sign her name, but in case your sister actually intends to sign her name Dr. Jane Smith, Ph.D, you should give her a heads up, so she doesn't commit a faux paux.
