German term

Viertelstelle in einem MVZ

German to English Medical Medical: Health Care Prostate cancer
What does it mean when a urologist says "Ich habe ein Viertelstelle (spelling?) in einem MVZ"?

For MVZ I have Medizinisches Versorgszentrum. Is it correct to say "medical care facility"? What is this quarter place? Is it to do with a trial?

Thanks!!
Proposed translations (English)
5 +2 part-time position in Medical Care Facility
2 +2 part-time job (a quarter of a fulltime job)
2 +1 quarter-time position?

Maybe you could add the quarter-time part in brackets, but it is basically just part-time.

quarter-time position?

Would be my educated guess. He works there 10 hours a week or so.

medical healthcare center might also fit.

agree SusanneM : That's what it is. In particular, the person in that position only receives a quarter of a full salary.

part-time job (a quarter of a fulltime job)

A "Viertelstelle" is a part time job where you work 25 % of the time of a fulltime job (at least in theory). I am not sure about the translation, but that is what is means.

MVZ is Medizinisches Versorgungszentrum, you are right
Peer comment(s):
agree Lirka : I think "a part-time job/position" would do. Medical care facility or center will do as well.
