Professional DesignationsNo person holding a certificate to practice a limited branch of medicine or surgery shall employ, or cause to be employed, the designation “Dr.” or “Doctor” without also qualifying such designation by the name or abbreviation of the limited branch for which he or she has been certificated. The appropriate designation must follow the name of the limited practitioner (e.g. “John Doe, Doctor or Mechanotherapy” or “John Doe, D.M.”) and may be employed or caused to be employed by the limited practitioner only if the limited practitioner has received such a title from a school empowered to grant the degree. The designation “Dr.” or “Doctor” shall not precede the name of the limited practitioner. OAC § 4731-1-03 (D) No person holding a certificate to practice a limited branch of medicine or surgery shall employ, or cause to be employed, the designation “physician” or “surgeon,” no matter how qualified or how employed in combination with other language. OAC § 4731-1-03 (E) No person holding a certificate to practice any limited branch or branches of medicine or surgery shall hold himself or herself out as certificated in or able to practice any limited branch of surgery for which that person has not been certificated.
