Portuguese term or phrase: Provedor (da Irmandade Santa Casa de Misericórdia)
Esta é uma acepção para a palavra "provedor" em português que eu nunca havia encontrado, e não sei se posso traduzi-la como "provider". Pensei em traduzir como "director" mas resolvi vir perguntar para saber se não há um termo melhor.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I've always used "provost" as a second academic officer, in the case of universities, but this definition you found on Merriam-Webster seems just fine for me in this context. It is, in fact, the title under a signature in a Medical Residency Certificate, so the context is a medical school. I think I might go with "provost". Thank you so much for your contribution and the others as well! PS.: I've also found this text: http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S0101-81082004000200002&script=sci_arttext&tlng=en
