Who Should Be Called a 'Doctor'?
A new Georgia law has renewed debate over the legal use of the title as more people earn doctorates in healthcare fields and challenge the notion that only MDs should call themselves doctor. Jennifer Mensik Kennedy, president of the American Nurses Association, remembers the day well. She was at a meeting of administrators at the hospital where she worked and the physicians there were addressing each other by first name. Mensik Kennedy assumed everyone would be on a first name basis. But when she followed suit, the informal tone of the meeting quickly changed. “I was corrected,” she recalled. “They said, ‘No, no, no, this is Dr. Smith.’”
