ejimatic:In academics now as they declare vacancies all are shared by the movers and shakers.So inclusion of PhD in view has no value unlike on the past when it was view as an added advantage. |

You don't add a PhD-whatever to our name until after you got it officially. Even if you are a PhD candidate, after you've passed your candidacy or comprehensive exam, you don't need to insert that under your name. It's of no value. But in a country like Nigeria where even a panel beater want to be addressed as "Engineer", then one wouldn't be surprised if someone who just started his/her PhD program put "PhD in Progress" after their names. I never used any part of it until after the day I submitted my thesis. 3 Likes |

Archbishop88: Nothing like a PhD Fellow. You can only be a Postdoctoral Fellow. That's after you take up a research position in an organization or institution after completing your PhD. And you can't be a Postdoctoral Fellow forever. It's only for research experience working under the guide of a well experienced professor. 1 Like |

sageb: Someone that is yet to finish course work is not a doctorate candidate yet. What if he/she doesn't make the necessary grade to qualify? |

kamtrix: You refer to yourself as either a PhD student or a PhD candidate. When I started mine in Canada 5 years ago, that's how we addressed ourselves. You had to pass a candidacy exam and a proposal exam before you can say, you are in there. Today I am a Dr. but I don't feel like one. lmao! 1 Like |

joyandfaith: The earlier you realize doctor is actually a title originally designated for academics not physicians the better. Check the etymology of the word, it means "to teach" "docere". PhDs are far more qualified to use the title than anyone else. 1 Like |

Thiwalade: Go and tell that in developed nations where it is norms for doctors to use the title Dr not PhD holders esp in healthcare setting. Even use of Dr title for physicians is more ancient than PhD degree. In France, it is only physicians that are allowed to use the title Dr. If you are interested in academic title in France , you have to work harder to become a Professor. |

joyandfaith: Why not fact check what I've told you. Whether physicians in France are the only one allowed to use it or not does not change the original meaning and purpose. 1 Like 1 Share

joyandfaith: Big fat liar..I lived in France and schooled there in a one of the grande ecoles(elites schools). In my school, the academics who taught us all held a PhD and were addressed as Drs. So its a lie that only Medical doctors/Physicians are addressed with the Dr title in France..Academics that hold a PhD are also addressed as Drs. 1 Like |

bezimo: I stopped arguing with him the moment he started going off Point. Only fools never learn or admit their error. He just wants to say something, when he can see clearly that the word DOCTOR means to teach he's still talking about how well placed and whatnot. Typical reaction I get from these physicians claiming doctor. They don't even know the meaning of the title. 1 Like
