...and what degree is it? Is she really a Dr. ie does she have her Ph.D., or her M.D. or does she just *call* herself Dr. I met a woman once, who was pretty well known in my field. Everyone called her Dr. She never corrected them. In fact she wasn't a Ph.D.. But her own biography (the little page that presenters send out) said "...and did doctoral studies at..." what that basically meant was, she entered a Ph.D. program and did a semester. Okay, that's about 4-10 years short of a Ph.D. but whatever.
