Groupement professionnel, ayant une personnalité juridique, auquel ont été admis les membres de la profession et bénéficiant de prérogatives étatiques telles que le pouvoir réglementaire et le pouvoir disciplinaire.

Le projet de loi n° 140, sanctionné le 17 juin 1994, a apporté des modifications à la dénomination de plusieurs ordres professionnels, dont celui des médecins. Malheureusement, le législateur, conseillé par l'Office (mal dénommé) des professions, s'est permis de malmener la langue française à cette occasion. Ainsi, il a opté pour l'expression «Ordre professionnel» plutôt que pour le mot «Ordre» tout court. 6, record 1, French, - ordre%20professionnel
