Glossary entry (derived from question below)
French term or phrase:
compétence en
English translation:
certified
French term
compétence en
This term appears in an 'attestation of good standing' as follows:
il est egalement titulaire des disciplines suivantes:
-Qualification en MEDECINE GENERALE
-Competence en MEDECINE LEGALE
-Competence en MEDECINE APPLIQUE AUX SPORTS.
I am not certain if this best translates as 'qualification in' or simply 'competency/competence in' or something else and would appreciate some advice.
Merci!

: I would stick with "proficient in' as if the doctor were trained and had qualifications in the areas to which he claims "compétence", he would no doubt say so. Cf DRManu49's caveat here : http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/medical_general/...
