In the United States, titles and credentials can sometimes be off-putting, so consider your target audience when including them.

In general, include only the highest-level credential if in having it lower credentials are implied. For instance, if you have a doctorate, it is unnecessary to include credentials such as your master's or bachelor's degree since one can assume you have these, or their equivalents.

Once you know what credentials to include, list them from highest to lowest, or most recently earned to earned longest ago, separated by commas.

For instance, a medical Doctor Who also holds a doctor of philosophy might style her name:

Jane Smith, M.D., Ph.D.

Another example might be a certified massage therapist (CMT) who previously earned a credential in human kinetics therapy (HKT):

Jane Smith, CMT, HKT

The above is correct except you should not use periods in academic degrees, licenses, or other credentials. Ex: Jane Smith, MD, PhD.
