Step 2 CS - Refer to self as Doctor?

[CAbroiler]

so in first aid, it says that when you address the patient at the beginning of the encounter you call them by name (get ur points), and then say "i'm Dr. ______". do we actually refer to ourselves as Doctor? or do we say i'm ______, a med student?

The typical examinee will introduce himself/herself as "Doctor XXXXXXX"

I said Student Doctor, but if you choose to use Doctor, I think that is acceptable also

the whole day we were referred to as doctors so i just used dr ___. it was just easier. i'm pretty sure u can say anything within reason

You can use any name and title you feel comfortable with as long as you include your last name and job title. I used--hello, I'm (first name, last name) and I'm a fourth year medical student..... This worked just fine. Good luck!
