senior medical officer
Explanation:
Two web references define Physikat as ‘Arzt des öffentlichen Gesundheitsdienstes’ or ‘Praxis des Bezirksarztes’
ober = senior
rat = officer?
"senior medical officer" 369000 ggl

There are references from all over the English-speaking world and the common factor seems to be that an SMO is in charge of public health matters rather than attending to individual patients, i.e. more of a civil servant role.
(Sorry that should have been 36,900 ggl)
