signing block of a letter MD , Dr on none
Hi there
Is it appropriate to mention your medical title as Dr. or MD when signing your emails or letters? What is the best policy in regard to this matter: to only sign your first and last name or mention your title? If title mentioning is a good habit then which one is preferable Dr or MD?
Many thanks in advance

Hello Lonelymelody,
You have a few choices. If you write "Dr. Mary Smith" you could be a medical doctor, or a dentist, or even a Ph.D. If you write Mary Smith, M.D., you have left no doubt that you are a medical doctor.
However, if you were writing about something that has NOTHING to do with medicine - making a hotel reservation or writing to follow up on a missing order for boo
