: Hello Aude...might I disagree? This seems to be a completely FRENCH reference. Like France v Ireland rugby

Hello Fourth, I'm not sure to understand... Asker is also speaking about the French SEL, no (hence the caps in the question)? In fact and w/o more context, I'd rather agree with the 3rd link, leaving the name as it is, with an explanation into brackets

Discussion
incorporated professional practices/
Les Sociétés d'exercice libéral (SEL) sont un ensemble de formes juridiques françaises créées pour permettre aux membres des professions libérales d’exercer leur activité SOUS FORME DE SOCIÉTÉS DE CAPITAUX (forcément incorporées). Il ne s’agit pas d’une nouvelle structure juridique mais d’un mode nouveau d’exercice d’une activité libérale à travers des structures juridiques existantes :
• SELARL : Société d’exercice libéral à responsabilité limitée
• SELAFA : Société d’exercice Libéral A Forme Anonyme
• SELAS : Société d’Exercice libéral par actions simplifiée
• SELCA ou SELACA: Société d’exercice libéral en commandite par actions.
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Société_d'exercice_libéral
In the US, medical professionals are often "P.A." or professional association - for example, several doctors or dentists in practice together.
