In French, “docteur” is only for physicians and veterinarians.
Pharmacists can use the title if they sustain a thesis (and their
“thesis” just bear the name).
A PhD do not use the title before his name.
He can write “J. Dupont, docteur ès Sciences” (or ”Lettres”)
on his visit cards, but he can’t write (nor be called) “Docteur
Dupont” or “Dr Dupont” (it’s an usage and a strong recommandation).
University professors (who pass another examination after or in
lieu of a PhD) can use the title “Professeur” (”Professeur Dupont”).
Hence, few people know you can be a doctor without being a
physician. And we wonder why PhD aren’t recognized by recruiters…
