Not done, looks like an alphabet soup to me. MOS:POSTNOM allows a small number of postnomials if necessary, but I very rarely see "MD" or "PhD" or etc in practical use. The credentials can be added to the text where necessary. Rusalkii (talk) 05:25, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

MD and PhD are always used in the medical community, as is MPH; at a minimum, these should be included. However, Pawlik has earned many more and the request is for at least the MD, PhD, MPH

Wikipedia clearly states that recognized credentials can be added when they are from a recognized institution and used within the individual’s area of expertise. Boiler63 (talk) 15:45, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
