Medical Titles and Their Abbreviations
Greetings:
First time user.
Is there a listing/web site/reference available of the various subject abbreviations that I could go to for ensuring that I am utilizing the OFFICIAL and CORRECT abbreviation of a person's title?
I am interested in a listing similar to this:
MD
PhD
PA
etc.
Any suggestions (within social bounds) would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Could you please send any information regarding "DO". I recently visited a general medical doctor that had this after his name.
Thanks for your help,

I came across your question while I was looking for the same thing. Copy and paste the above link. It's probably to late for whatever you needed it for.

Hi!
I know we are on the page for medical titles and their abbreviations but I thought I might remind everyone that the abbreviation OD is also a direction in a medication order. It means 'right eye' .
