Spanish term

químico farmacobiólogo

Spanish to English Science Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng Staffing list
The text relates to a prison hospital facility in Mexico.

La plantilla médica está integrada por:
6 médicos generales, 10 odontólogos, 21 enfermeras, 5 químicos farmacobiologos, 10 ingenieros químicos, 3 laboratoristas...

I found this, but I'm not convinced:

There are very few hits for the terms "pharmacobiological chemist," biopharmaceutical chemist" and "chemical pharmacobiologist," and since there are five on the staff in this (very small) hospital alone, I assume it must be rather a commonly held position/title.

Target text is for the USA.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Robert Carter (asker) Nov 19, 2015:
Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Biological Scientist Am posting here as I can't post an answer to my own question. It appears there is no consensus among universities as to what the "perfil de egresado" is for this degree, some appear more oriented towards pharmaceuticals or chemistry, others say they deal with all three disciplines in addition to lab sciences, others say they will become healthcare professionals. I think the above term could be general enough to cover all bases.

There seem to be more examples of this than of other permutations, and it would seem to cover the bases, but I can't claim to know whether there is a difference between a bioquímico farmacéutico and a químico farmacobiólogo. I suppose in principle it's a question of whether you're essentially a chemist or a biochemist.

Bio-pharmaceutical chemist / Pharmaco-biological chemist

Could be a possibility. Correct me if I'm wrong.
