Medical (general)
Certificado de experiencia laboral en Ministerio de Salud (Argentina)
Buenas noches a todos: Estoy traduciendo del español al inglés un certificado de experiencia laboral de un Médico Cirujano (Argentina), en el cual consta, según los datos del legajo de dicho profesional, que éste ha sido AGENTE del Ministerio de Salud desde (fecha) designado por decreto (número de decreto).
Mi consulta es respecto a la palabra 'agente'. Traducirlo por 'Agent' me parece demasiado literal y hasta genérico. Intento encontrar definiciones respecto de la tarea de un agente en un Ministerio de Salud. Como mencioné arriba, la persona en cuestión no es un funcionario públic, sino que presta servicios como Médico Asistente Interino, especialidad en cirugía. Todo consta en el mismo certificado.
Agradeceré a quien me pueda orientar porque estoy un poco perdida.
Muchas gracias,
Mariela.

I agree that "agent" is not appropriate here.

Contract Agents
Most Contract Agents in EMSA have an initial contract duration of 3 years. The contract can be renewed for a first fixed-term period, and upon its second renewal possibly converted into a contract of indefinite duration.

and I think "agent" is fine if complemented by "contract"
