Medical Forum / General / Laboratory / May 2008Are MTs w/ PhDs called "Doctor" on-the-job?
Are MTs w/ PhDs called "Doctor" on-the-job? Like if "John Q. Public, MT PhD" was the lead technologist in a hospital clinical and diagnostic virology department, would he be addressed as "Dr Public"? Can you use flow cytometry to calculate viral load? Thanks! I've never known any MT's with Ph.D's. Yes, Ph.D's are addressed as "Doctor." I've worked for three Ph.D microbiologists over the course of my career. None of them were MT's previous to their acquiring doctorates. I addressed them all as "doctor." My son-in-law has a Ph.D. I don't call him "doctor" but his students certainly do. Can't help you with the flow question - not my department. Judy Dilworth, M.T.

If you are dealing with a specific case/person, call the person whatever they want to be called; people vary in how much formality they want. But the situation is somewhat different in Germany; there have been some incidents there about American PhDs being called Dr -- which is apparently not proper there. bob > On Wed, 7 May 2008 16:03:59 -0700 (PDT), douglas > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > bob Yeah, they fixed that...your PhD has to be reviewed by a gov't org, and then they'll grant you the title "Doktor". > On Wed, 7 May 2008 16:03:59 -0700 (PDT), douglas > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > bob But why aren't DNPs called "Doctor" in a clinical setting?
