Hi everyone,
I know we've gone over this term many times and I usually translate it as "Former Chief Resident" but I have it in a context where both terms seem to be translated as "Former Chief Resident"
"Ancien assistant des Hôpitaux - Ancien chef de clinique de la faculté"
Could one of these be "Associate Professor"?
Thanks
Joanna

| Thanks Francois, what I am confused about is why in French uses both "Ancien Assistant des Hôpitaux" and "Ancien chef de clinique de la Faculté" if they both mean "chief resident"? |
| Thanks François, but in this case this doesn't seem to be one title but two different titles.... |
| Thanks Francois. One last question: "Are you sure he is a head physician of the school of Medecine"? It seems that he is a professor or as Dr. Manu states "Associate Professor".... |

Former Chief Resident vs. Former Chief Resident and Associate Professor
Declined
The way I have translated it in the first case
Ancien assistant des Hôpitaux is Former Chief Resident in any hospital
and in the second case-
Ancien chef de clinique de la faculté is Former Chief Resident and Associate Professor if Faculté is mentioned (i.e. Faculté de Médecine) and this is necessarily in a Teaching Hospital.

Yes, that is the way I would translate it Joanna.

| Thanks Dr Manu! This person holds both positions of "Ancien assistant des Hôpitaux - Ancien chef de clinique de la faculté." Can I simply translate Former Chief Resident and Associate Professor? |
Discussion
Your reference is specific to one field (cosmetic surgery). It is not as encompassing as the attachments I provided you with!
chef de clinique ou CCA c'est en dessous du professeur..
"en fait l'assistant des hopitaux est un tout jeune toubib qui exerce en centre hospitalier régional, et le chef de clinique assistant c'est pareil sauf qu'il exerce en CHU et qu'il a des responsabilités vis à vis de la fac de médecine à laquelle il est rattaché" http://forum.doctissimo.fr/forme-beaute/chirurgie-esthetique...
Just sent my translation of the second title!
Did you read my response?
