Which accreditation is "better"?

"......... and yes, I will be proud to call myself Dr."

Interesting ........

Question:

Should or do "Doctors," necessarily or needlessly, call themselves "Doctor," as in "My name is Dr. So-and-so?"

IIRC, there is an internationally-recognized law against doing that sort of thing. (HOFLMBO!)

Why not let others, not you, do you the honors?

Somebody or, more precisley, someone's esteem, needs this "Doctor" thingy really badly! I am just saying .....

Someone please pull my chain if I am way out on a limb on this one. But, hey, that's just me.

 

That's pretty much what I said is PA's purpose, no? So, then, we're in agreement after all.

Good!

Whew! I was starting to tucker out. Let's talk 'bout sumthin' else, now.

Let me say this as clearly as possible: the *only*
unquestioned, nationally recognized standard for a
legitimate school is regional accreditation. Period. If
you pursue a degree from *any* school that is not regionally
accredited, chances are that it will have some limitations
in terms of either your prospects for professional
licensure, your chances for admission to the graduate school
of your choice, or the credibility of your credentials in
general (including possible ramifications related to your
employment).

What about other types of accreditation?

There are several professional accrediting agencies that are
recognized by both the U.S. Department of Education and
CORPA. These accredit either schools, or individual
programs within larger schools, in specific professions. In
some cases, approval by a professional accreditor is a
*must* if you want to sit for a licensure examination such
as the psychology boards, nursing boards, or bar
examination. Commonly recognized accreditors in this
category include the American Psychological Association
(APA), the National League for Nursing (NLN), and the
American Bar Association (ABA). Be especially careful in
these fields: If the program you choose is not approved by
its applicable professional accreditor, you will very likely
not be able to sit for the licensure exam in most states.

RA and when needed + PA is the most recognized accreditation

Wile this article is maybe decade old and some things changed such as names of CORPA - CHEA I still found Steves input very valuble today.
