Should be
Praticien hospitalier
| Thank you Janet - couldn't find "PH" or "P.H." in Kudoz when I looked. |
| agree |
Andrew Mason
: This guy has a permanent post in the hospital, is more senior than the run-of-the- mill doctor, but beneath the'chef de service'. Typically

Thank you Andrew. Yes, it's a term that doesn't really translate fully (like all the other MD positions/qualifications).

Helen Genevier
: I always put both: hospital practitioner (~consultant)/In the UK consultant is a permanent senior hospital post. I agree none of these titles have direct equivalents though

You may be right. I'm approaching this from a US perspective though, so for me a 'consultant' is someone who is sought for an opinion/referral by the primary MD. The PH is a permanent position too so I don't know if consultant conveys that. /Thanks Helen!

Consultant
The reference I have to hand is 'Anglais Médical' by M. Mandelbrojt-Sweeney, 3e édition, Masson, p.141.
Chef de service would be 'Head of Department'
| Thank you mpt_21 - I felt I needed a more general, non-UK term in my context |
| agree |

: Yes, for the UK. That's what we call them. The top bod in the hospital team.

Andrew Mason
: Beware, these are not necessarily the 'top bods'. It's a grade often occupied by someone who will not see any further enhancement in his hospital career, but has a certain longevity in the position. More like a senior doctor compared with a junior.
