When can I call myself 'Dr.'?

[boerhaave]

Hi,

I have recently passed the Hammerexamen. I am now applying for jobs in the UK. Is it ok to call myself 'Dr' ?

Hey,

you have to write a doctoral thesis and pass it with a "rite" at least in order to gain the degree "Dr.med."

Sorry, but that was not the question.
In the UK everyone who has finished his studies is called "doctor". But that's no kind of title so you do not write your name with a dr. in front.

There is no real equivalent to the German "Dr. med." in the UK.

Have you finished your doctoral thesis in Germany? If you have done so, I don't know what it would be called in English
But if you haven't written a doctoral thesis, you are being called "M.D". If I remember it correctly, a graduate from medical school in Great Britain ist called "M.D.", without having written a doctoral thesis.

Ups......I just double-checked my above statement and found out, that I might be wrong. Sorry.
Maybe Fino reads this and helps us a little bit
