!!!Amtsarzt

Amtsarzt: (approx.) medical officer, doctor who carries out official 
tasks in public service (§ 42 para. 1 of the Austrian 
Aerztegesetz (Law on Physicians)). These doctors work in the 
administrative departments of chartered towns, in district 
commissions, in the boards of public health of Austrian provinces and 
in the Federal Ministry of Labour, Health and Social Affairs. Austria 
has a total of 246 medical officers, two thirds of whom are general 
practitioners. The prerequisite for the position has been the 
"Physikatspruefung" (medical officer's qualification exam) since 1873.
