Japanese term or phrase: オピオン医師
This appears in the following sentence.
現場の本当に勉強したい先生は、少し遅れて入ってくる(地方は遅い)各製品の話題より最新の話を旬のうちにオピオン医師の話が聞きたいとの声が増えているように思います。
The context is a series of responses to an employee questionnaire carried out by a pharmaceutical company. This particular employee is complaining about the lack of resources available to drug company reps in conducting marketing aimed at doctors. He then gives some suggestions. This is one of them. I have no idea what "opion ishi" means. Any comments are appreciated.

"Ophion" doctor


Explanation:
Does this seem too far-fecthed to think this came from the Greek mythology referring to Ophion to symbolize serpent? 2013 is the year of snake. Or, it could simply be a typo and may be "オピニオン医師" rather than "オピオン"?

医師の意見(オピニオン)


Explanation:
I think it is typo of 医師の意見(医師のオピニオン). However, it can be a proper noun as Dr. Opion. (I do not really believe that.)
