      As noted in the comments, there is an existing extension that can be used on suffix to indicate that the suffix is a degree.  We recommend that this extension be used for this use case.  Note: there is a slight error in the comment as the extension value type is code.  Here is the corrected version:

      <name>
        <family value="Postlethwaite"/>
        <suffix value="Sr." />
         <suffix value="Ph.D.">
          <extension url="http://hl7.org/fhir/StructureDefinition/iso21090-EN-qualifier">
            <valueCode value="AC"/>
          </extension>
        </suffix>
      </name>

    Description

      When mapping v2 to FHIR, the PID-05.06.00 and PID-05.14.00 have no real place in FHIR, unless put into a suffix and or prefix. On the return that would cause a problem. Additionally, this is actually not part of a name per se, but could be discussed.

      We propose to add an extension for Professional Degree to humanname.
