German term

Diplom-Gesundheitsökonomin (BI)

German to English Other Education / Pedagogy Degree from school or university
In a German medical report, this is one title of a physician. I am not sure how to translate it into English, especially the "BI" part, which I do not know the meaning of, though I find plenty of people with this degree when I google in German.

Appreciate help on how best to translate this title in English, if it should be translated at all.

Teresa Reinhardt Jul 21, 2011:
I don't think anybody is served when we translate titles. They simply don't exist in other countries. And in this case, if the person is indeed a physician, this will be a very junior/minor title in her/his collection.

BI


It can be a diploma obtained attending different schools (international exchange)
or the International Baccalaureat, an internationally recognized high-school diploma

Warnung:
Die Abschlussbezeichnungen
Dipl. Betriebsökonom (BI) bzw. Diplom-Betriebsökonom (BI)
Dipl. Finanzökonom (BI) bzw. Diplom-Finanzökonom (BI)
Dipl. Immobilienökonom (BI) bzw. Diplom-Immobilienökonom (BI)
sind nicht anerkannt!
Die Titelführung ist in Deutschland strafbar. Wer sich mit diesen Diplomen in Deutschland bewirbt, könnte sich des Betruges schuldig machen, weil die BI-Diplome nicht anerkannt sind.

Es handelt sich um einfache, nichtakademische Weiterbildungen, die sehr teuer sind. Es gibt keine Voraussetzungen zu erfüllen, um solche Kurse zu belegen.

Degree in Healthcare Management (BI)

I'd translate the degree itself and put the name of the school in parentheses.
