The Minister of Defence is competent to recognise a qualification different from the one initially recognised for practitioners in the armed forces covered by the provisions of article L. 4138-2 of the Defence Code. This qualification is valid only insofar as the armed forces practitioner is subject to the provisions of the aforementioned article.
A Conseil d’Etat decree sets out the conditions for implementing this article, in particular the terms under which the councils of the health professions concerned cooperate in granting the recognition of the qualification provided for in the previous paragraph.
