I know it would not be legal to suggest it is a medical degree, but as a religious degree do we have the right to us it?

PhD Alumni Posts: 1882 Location: NE Ohio I use mine... I also joined the AAMA (3rd party verification) just so many understand that I am not claiming to be a MD, Surgeon, Psychiatrist, Etc. I explain exactly what I am, what I do and I love what I do. Soooo as long as I have happy clients, it cannot be wrong just because the government didn't take their huge chunk out of my choice of multiple training. Have a great day~
