Medical / EMEA policy
English term or phrase: proctors
Si tratta della politica dell'EMEA per i rappresentanti di un'azienda produttrice di dispositivi medicali che forniscono assistenza durante gli interventi. Dopo aver definito cosa si intende per rappresentanti e a chi si rivolge questa politica, compare questa frase: "Rules defining the role of ***Proctors*** exist separately, and are not affected by this policy." Non riesco a capire di che figura si tratti. Qualcuno lo sa? TIA

Explanation:
Hi Anna

In this context, a proctor is someone who is more experienced than the operator, and can provide guidance during the operator's first procedure(s) using a new device. We have proctors in our hospital come in and help us with new ICD's or pacemakers.

Thus, a proctor is not exactly the same as a mentor" (someone who teaches one-to-one on a long-term basis) or a "supervisor" (someone who monitors the work of several people, also long-term).

In Italian, however, I found one instance of "proctor" translated as "supervisore". Perhaps there's a better word yet, or perhaps you can leave "proctor".
