How to sign “Doctors” in ASL

Health & Safety

The BSL sign for “Doctors” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.

Step by step

  1. Hold your non-dominant hand out, palm up.
  2. Tap the fingertips of your bent dominant hand twice on the inside of your wrist.

Practice tip

Plural of “Doctor” — sign the base sign (often repeated) for more than one.

Fingerspell “Doctors”

Letter by letter — a handy backup if you forget the sign above. This is not the sign itself.
