French term or phrase: Responsable de secteur
Hi,

I have a new letterhead from the Geneva University Hospitals from the General Internal Medicine Division.
Most of the doctors on this list are either "Médecin-adjoint agrégé/Responsable de secteur" or "Médecin-adjoint/Responsable de secteur"

This is for the US.

Thanks
