French term or phrase: auprès du MT

This is a discharge summary for a gentleman with pericarditis. (Switzerland)

Un contrôle chez son médecin traitant serait souhaitable. Il se chargera de l'organiser dès son retour à la maison, auprès du MT de sa femme.
Arrêt de travail pour 4 jours.

Any ideas for MT?

Any recommendations for sources of FR>EN medical acronyms?

Many thanks!

with (his wife's) GP

Explanation:
A médecin traitant is the same as a British general practitioner.

General Practitioner/Doctor
http://www.easyexpat.com/en/guides/switzerland/zurich/health...
"Access to doctors and specialists is provided for with even basic insurance. Determine what kind of doctor you need. A General Practitioner (G.P.) is usually called Arzt für Allgemeinmedizin or Praktischer Arzt. People usually go here first as they prescribe drugs, treat acute and chronic illnesses, and provide preventive care and health education. If they need additional assistance or specialized care, they may receive an "Ueberweisung" (referral) to a specialist or consultant (Facharzt)."

with his regular doctor

Explanation:
MT médecin traitant - would seem to make sense in context - he's going to arrange a visit with his wife's doctor.
I'm afraid the source is only wikipedia in this case - Liste d'abréviations en médecine
