Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found in the register; the register does not disclose specialty. CONACEM specialist search under otorhinolaryngology returned 'Sin resultados a su busqueda.' for this surname. Certification by CONACEM is voluntary and non-exclusive in Chile, so absence from the search is not a finding about the physician's qualifications. Queried from a German egress. [conacem] |
