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


Answer:
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:)
I work with lots of pharmacists, and we dont call them doctor. I guess it depends on the people you work with.
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.
You can in formal situtations.
You can sign your name like that too.My dad had his PhD and we ocassionally called him doc
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.
yes use it when waiting for a table at a restaurant, and to piss off your pea green user loser gf's
