Should I refer to you as Dr. So-And-So if you arenâ??t a medical doctor, but you earned a Ph.D.?
This topic came up while doing a little fact checking with a source for my Tim Cordes profile. This person — who I did not end up mentioning in the article — suggested that I refer to him/her as Dr. So-and-So. Or at the very least that I refer to him/her as So-And-So, Ph.D.
I pointed out that Associated Press style says to generally only use the title of Dr. in front of someone who is a medical doctor.
