I'm having a hard time finding the English equivalent for this phrase and would appreciate suggestions. Here is my current translation:

agree  Jennifer Levey: With DL - and with Rachel if the translation is for the UK (or equivalent): the person is 'fit to practi*S*e' - but may need a lot more practi*C*e before (s)he manages to treat a patient without undue risk.

suitability


Explanation:

elegibility


Explanation:
We sometimes use "idoneidad" when translating the word "elegibility." This would probably be ok in this context, but I believe the terms already suggested are fine. This is just another option for anyone searching the term in the future.
