Medical school vs graduate school decision

[smalltownpsych]

I make my wife call me doctor smalltown! Seriously though, all of the staff and my patients call me dr. Usually with other docs we go by first name unless talking to a third party.

Do most people you work with call you Dr? how about patients? do most patients even really understand the training of a neuropsychologist?

My answers are very similar to those above: yes (in formal settings or around patients), yes, rarely (although I then explain to folks what I do).

Other providers and I typically use first names when speaking with one another conversationally.
