German term or phrase: Chefarzt PD
This appears in a CV. I know there are plenty of suggestions for Chefarzt, but what does the abbreviation PD stand for?

Explanation:
Mit PD (Privatdozent) bezeichnet man in Deutschland einen habilitierten Arzt, bevor er eine Professur (odentlich oder außerordentlich) antritt.

Oft ist für die Annahme des Professortitels eine bestimmte Zeit als PD oder die Annahme einer ordentlichen Professur nötig.

agree  Cetacea: There's even the "English" term of "privatdocent" or "privatdozent", i.e. an unsalaried university lecturer in German-speaking countries remunerated directly by students' fees. By the way, it doesn't only apply to medical doctors.
