Subject: A little advice with your suffixes

I hope I don't light any fuses here but can my fellow PT's stop overkilling it

with their suffixes? I can certainly understand listing your specialty

certifications, but you just look silly when you list redundant suffixes behind

your name. I'm sorry but when you have a sentence behind your name you just look

like your keeping score. For example, I just saw a continuing ed course with the

instructor looking like " Doe " MS, PT, MPT, DPT, CSCS, OCS. How about just -

" Doe " DPT, CSCS, OCS? If you achieve your doctorate, why list your

bachelors PT designation? Any fellow PT's agree with me?

In most States and Jurisdictions , Regulations call for the suffix " PT " to

immediately follow the name, followed by anything else you want to put. I see

no harm in adding others, they have earned it , but I agree sometimes it is a

bit much. In some cases (perhaps for clinical educators/ instructors )it may

important to list credentials. From the public (patient) perspective we are

first and foremost a physical therapist ( PT)

I like that. One of my mentors told me " If you have to profess how good you are,

you're not as good as you think you are. " I agree. I think one should let their

applied knowledge and skill demonstrate how good they are.
