French term

praticien attaché

French to English Medical Medical (general)
I am not sure what the difference is between this and "praticien adjoint contractuel". This concerns a foreign physician practising in a French hospital and who has held both positions. The PAC status is apparently something that applies specifically to foreign doctors and I guess it means they are working under a temporary contract? Previous Kudoz suggest "consulting physician" for "praticien attaché" (and also "part-ime physician" and "associate physician", which do not fit as "associate" would go with "associé contractuel" and this person has worked as a full-time "praticien attaché)., How can I make a clear difference between these two statuses?

Thanks!

Discussion

Adam Warren Nov 5, 2009:
Something like "contract" versus "established" I'm not sure this terminology applies to medicine, though.
SJLD Nov 4, 2009:
practicien attaché As I understand it, these are practitioners who are not part of the general public service career structure of public hospitals in France. They work in sessions/blocks and are thus not salaried. They may or may not be specialists. In some countries, a close equivalent would be "sessional practitioner" (Australia, UK).
They are not necessarily foreign graduates - whereas "praticien adjoint contractuel" is a statute that concerns strictly foreigners.
