French term or phrase: médecin compétent

Found this on a letter from the "Ordre des Médecins":

J'ai le plaisir de vous notifier ci-dessous la décision qui vient d'être prononcée à votre égard par le Conseil de l'Ordre :
Vu la demande présentée par le Docteur XYZ, en date du 22/11/1991, ladite demande tendant à obtenir le droit de faire état de la qualité de médecin compétent qualifié en gynécologie médicale.

Vu l'équivalence du certificate d'études spéciales de chirurgie Générale accordée par le Ministre de l'Education Nationale...
Vu l'engagement d'exercice exclusif de la discipline pris mar l'intéressé...

Why would a doctor commit to practicing in only one area?

Thanks - Michelle Parker

qualified to practise as a gynaecologist..

Explanation:
It means that he won't set up shop as a surgeon or an ear-nose-and-throat specialist because he has qualified specifically as a gynaecologist. Would you like to be carved up on the operating table by a gynaecologist ?!
It's a question of professional ethics.

proficient

Explanation:
qualified medical gynecologist
Apparently this doctor has not followed the usual cursus to obtain this qulification. It has been obtained by transfer of credits. I don't know why the commitment to practice exclusively in a given field but I suspect this is one of the conditions for obtaining the qualification in this way.
