AD/AAD: Display Name for Professionals

@gjacobse aww, well that makes sense.
That said, Some Drs are above all that shit and don't worry about being called Dr XYZ... Those guys are generally a little easier to work with.

Don't disagree - By - I do try to present a professional appearance when I am able to. It's about respect as well.

Doctor is a personal title or part of the salutation, not part of the name. Like calling someone Mr, Mrs, President, Judge etc. MD is the medical doctor's degree.
AD has a personal title attribute and I think it should go there. And probably not as Dr but as M.D. I believe that is the proper way in formal writing.
So if the Doctor would use his name in a letter it would not be Dr Anthony Fauci, it would be Anthony Fauci, M.D. with the job title being NIAID Director. But if you spoke to him over the phone you would probably say Dr Fauci.
Update:
@gjacobse According to the standard personalTitle should have titles and not degrees. So it would be Dr. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1274#section-9.3.30
Don't know if you can have ServiceDesk pull down attributes such as personal title.

In many settings I can see it
not beinga problem. But this is a clinic - As my wife is a Doctor, when in her office, I use Dr. (name)... I don't reference the owner with out the Dr. But - (shrug). -

MDs are 10 tiers higher than your average person, or at least that's what they think
It's literally the only career where you don't have to the tiniest ounce of respect for your customers yet they expect to be hailed as heros and treated like demigods among pure mortals.

If it's available to you to use, why would you not use it?
So many people insist you use other titles that require much less education time, why should this be any different?
Plus having the information in AD/AAD doesn't hurt anything.

Something else to maintain for users to bitch about.

Really? I'm trying to think of other titles I might run into where I'm expected to use it ... a prist aka Father,

Might be more of a survey then anything.
But would it be proper to add the DR. to the display name in AD / AAD for a user?
Or just give them a pile of Post-its and a marker. They can write "Dr." on them and put'em in front of their name wherever they see it.

On a related subject, not looking forward to the eventual request(s) to have he/him, she/her etc added to AD and our automatically generated email signatures
