ALT Those who hold the degree are always addressed as “doctor“, otherwise professors are given their title when they hold an appointment of first rank in academic institutions. The title of “doctor “is given everywhere. The title “professor“ is always given within the university or college grounds, but in the social world outside, he was addressed as Mr. Assistant professors and instructors are called Mr. when introduced or addressed socially. But a man, regardless of scientific distinction who does not have a doctors’s degree– even PH.D – always resents being addressed as “doctor“

ALT When the title “doctor“ indicates of a profession as in medicine, dentistry, or veterinary medicine, it is used instead of “mister“ at all times. An earned title, indicating that a man or woman has received a doctorate in divinity, philosophy, literature, etc. is always used professionally. In private life, he may, if he prefers, continue to call himself “mister“. But any situation where other people are introduced as “mister Mrs. or miss rather than by first names, it is a mark of recognition and respect to use the title doctor. The distinction then is in the social setting rather than in the type of degree.
