I.-The grouping’s unified medical commission elects its chairman and vice-chairman from among the permanent practitioners who are members. However, when full practitioners do not make up the majority of medical, odontological and pharmaceutical staff in all the member institutions, the internal regulations may stipulate that the chairman and vice-chairman are elected from among all the practitioners who are members of the commission.
Voting takes place by secret uninominal ballot and by an absolute majority. If this majority is not achieved in the first two rounds, a third round is organised. A relative majority is sufficient for the third round. In the event of a tie between the candidates with the highest number of votes, the oldest of them shall be declared elected.
The term of office of the Chairman of the Unified Group Medical Commission is four years. They are renewable once.
