PharmD title in e-mail address?
Started by Sparda29
I throw the PharmD/phd on the sig when I need to get respect. That said, I've only done it twice and one time was RSVPing to my snotty cousins wedding
But i still use my .edu email. You keep them when you join the alumni assoc

My campus email always kinda sucked, so I always had everything forwarded through my gmail account, it's the same name, just @gmail.com vs @college.edu. I don't think I've used my .edu for anything besides group work in classes.
My work email sig has PharmD Rph, but I really only email my DM and a few others on occasion, not that I'm sending tons of professional correspondence to colleagues.
If it's for a job application, I can see why still using a student.edu might not be the best. It kind of gives the impression you're fresh out of school vs. an experienced rph.

Maybe I misread the question, but I think he's asking if he should make a [email protected] or a [email protected] account.
firstname.lastname@gmail(or etc).com
That's kind of silly. All the faculty have the same .edu address, and several institutions use the .edu address. You can't automatically assume someone is a new grad based on the email ending.
Totally irrelevant. Having an .edu address doesn't mean you're a student? So what are you, faculty? Not all universities have email addresses not identifying your role. My college of pharmacy gives out @student.xxxx.edu addresses.

Well the way it works at my school is faculty get: touro.edu
And students get: student.touro.edu
I'm sure schools are different. Ours does not differentiate, which is why you can't make the assumption.
My last job at a hospital had .edu...everyone had the same @....
Even then, it's still misleading. Are you a student or faculty?
What about if someone has "[email protected]"
"[email protected]" etc kind instead of name in email.
Is it professional or not?
"[email protected]" etc kind instead of name in email.

I think email addresses using your name instead of some kind of "username" or handle are much more professional.
That being said, I don't see a lot wrong with using your .edu email address if it is clear in context that you are not still a student (ex. you are actually faculty).

I'm a student. I have the same @ ending as everyone else (including faculty).
You mean can somebody use "[email protected]" or "[email protected]" what about writing these kind of email addresses in resumes.?
That was a rhetorical question. If you're not faculty then you're a student if you have an .edu address. Doesn't send the right message, no pun intended.
One day, your .edu email will stop working because the school will be tired of you using their email servers. Then you'll be screwed because you won't have access to anything you had in there. My undergrad email stopped working 6 months after I graduated and I didn't even realize how many important emails I had linked there until it was too late.
Just do [email protected] or whatever domain you choose if you decide to migrate in case the school cuts off your email. Who cares if you have a .edu email? Are we really going to judge a person based on an email address?
If you're emailing someone in the healthcare field, feel free to include your credentials in the signature. Otherwise, it's a waste of space.

I'm not sure how you're missing this. If you work for an academic teaching hospital, it is very possible that you'll have an edu address as an employee of that institution. I've seen it in responses to residency related emails and it was also the case at the hospital I worked at.
So, the point is, you cannot judge based on the ending of an email address. That's absurd.
