chief physician's outpatient clinic

if it is to be AE; "senior consultant" is British English. "Ambulance" is AE for Krankenwagen.

the longer I think about it, the more certain I become that a Chefarztambulanz is a typically German/entirely un-American concept; you might want to translate the whole thing as "an outpatient appointment with chief-physician Dr. X"

physician-in-chief ambulance

or "ambulance of the physician-in-chief".
Seems pretty straightforward: Chef - Arzt - Ambulance; What is it that is causing you the trouble?

hmm... the text is indeed strange; I am not so sure it is necesarily an ambulance...
Peer comment(s):

disagree quirite : an ambulance is actually not an outpatient department but a vehicle taking the patient to, for example, the hospital

Please, of course I know the meaning of "ambulance"; It is the German use of the word that makes med doubt whether it refer to a Krankenwagen or some mobile clinic, which is expressed in my added comment.
