Professional email signatures?

[CBG23]

Maybe a silly question, but as a newly minted intern I was wondering what people thought about email signatures for mail sent from their professional address. I always simply went with "Firstname Lastname", but I am wondering if I should now include MD after my name or PGY1 or my program name in my signature for all professional/ academic emails. Would "Firstname Lastname" still be okay? Just trying to get an indea of would may or may not be appropriate or professional,
