<p>[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4012305"]Yes but the real ‘campaign’ to have the professional title of “Dr.” in front of a sir name has happened in the last 5 years of so. I’ve been dealing with pharmacists at MCO’s for 20 years and it has been the more recent crop of graduates in the last 5 or so years that when you meet they introduce themselves as Dr. Smith, only to learn after the meeting that they are only a pharmacist. I agree with the other poster that in the healthcare setting where traditionally the only people addressed as Dr. were MD’s it is confusing for Pharmacists to address/introduce themselves as doctor. It seems a bit egocentric yet insecure that there is a movement by pharmacists, who are the only one calling for this change mind you, that they be addressed as “Doctor”. When I relay this silly website to my physician friends they LTAO that pharmacists want to be called Doctor. Why not just say, “Hello, I’m Pharmacist John”? or “ tell them to get into med school”, as one of them replied…”if they want to be called Doctor”.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
