[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on the context (PhDs should do it at universities and scientific conferences, MDs should do it in clinical circumstances). No one should do it at a neighborhood barbecue or their kid’s game. [/quote] Agreed, use in professional settings. For some reason though many think it's pretentious when PhD's and EdD's use Dr at social events or for booking accommodations but it's fine for the MD's. Not sure why.[/quote]
