The Director appoints the members of the Executive Board who belong to the medical professions, on presentation of a list of proposals drawn up by the Chairman of the Institutional Medical Board.
In university hospital centres, the list of proposals is drawn up by the chairman of the institutional medical committee, together with the director of the medical training and research unit or the chairman of the medical education coordination committee; in the case of mixed medical and pharmaceutical training and research units, the opinion of the directors of each of their components is required.
This list, comprising at least three names, is presented to the director within thirty days of his request. In the event of disagreement, noted by the Director, over the names on the list submitted or because the list is missing or incomplete, the Director may request a new list within fifteen days. In the event of a further disagreement, the Director appoints the members of his choice after consulting the Chairman of the Institutional Medical Committee.
