Notas de uso
- Use dottoressa for a female doctor or as a formal title for a woman with a university degree, especially in professional settings.
- Before the title, Italian usually uses article + surname: la dottoressa Rossi. Direct address is Dottoressa Rossi, without the article.
- Do not confuse dottoressa with dottoressa di ricerca; the latter specifically means someone with a PhD.
