The Rationale:

Today, we see a strong trend among many non-Postgraduate degree holders as herbalist, Alternative practitioners and so-called "healers, to introduce themselves as “Doctors” Likewise, there's an increasing number of health gurus claiming to be "PhD holders". Advertising their names with this highest academic title, but who did not educationally earned it the legit way (Honoris causa?unqualified schools?).Some adopt various fake academic doctorate titles, just to gain the impression of having multiple doctorates . New Alternative schools which just emerged in the scene, and suddenly announced that they are qualified to offer Postgraduate degrees are highly-questionable. Particularly, when this novice schools has not gained educational maturity by going through the educational stages. Holding a successful Bachelor's degree programs over the years (yearly Baccalaureate Graduations) as first step; and then later, advancing to Masters for additional years; before evolving to Doctoral program. "Separate the Grains from the Wheat" Thus, It is best that Doctors who graduated with legitimate Doctorate degrees from qualified Institutions should be BOARD-CERTIFIED.
