As a medical student, would you address a PGY4 as "Dr. Last name"?

 

[wysdoc]

Yes at first, unless they ask you to use their first name

 

[RangerBob]

Yes, “Dr Smith” unless they request otherwise

In life it’s typically best to err on the conservative side and be politely corrected than to err on the liberal side and be rudely so.

I don’t mean anything political—I’m just referring to naming conventions here.

Why wouldn’t you?
