I wonder why some people ask the same question again and again without taking some time to read the answers already given in this thread. Sad

Great information Melodie but was wondering what the abbreviation "NO" stands for.  I'm in pharmaceutical sales and saw this after a doctor's name who is an Internal Medicine physician specializing in cardiology.

Thanks!

Hmmm, Doctor No. Let me think. Wasn't he one of the villains James Bond dealt with? (:D) Big Smile

No.  A master's degree is an MA, MS, MSc, AM or SM.
