French term

expertise

French to English Medical Medical: Health Care
A term to describe a *professional interview* with a subject for the purpose of diagnosing their mental health.

E.g.

"J'ai avisé madame qu'il s'agissait d'une *expertise* et que mon rapport serait transmis à son employeur, via une demande d'*expertise*"
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): SJLD

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Jonathan MacKerron Mar 11, 2010:
with SJLD is "madame" not a patient??

professional interview? Do you mean work-related? What does it actually say in French? I'm pretty sure we wouldn't use "professional interview" in English.

assessment / evaluation

in case it's not something official like an "expert report" or similar. "survey" is another option, but can't be sure with the little context there is.

une evaluation professionelle

A term to describe a *professional interview* with a subject for the purpose of diagnosing their mental health.

evaluation professionelle is still wide enough to allow for some room: prof. interview, assessment, etc.
