What is this job title called?

When there's a medical show, like Grey's Anatomy or ER, and the studio hires an actual doctor so the lines and actions within the script make sense? Or on a cop show, when the studio hires a retired cop to make sure?

Thanks guys! I used the term "dialect consultant" for my email and I'm sure the person will know what I mean now.

If your job is to help actors on a show with their dialect -- say they need to speak as if they are from London, Texas, or Boston, or NY or whatever (France, Germany, etc would be an accent, not a dialect) -- you are a dialect coach, not a consultant.

The issue/job is more nuanced than that, but the guy I emailed got my point, and that's what matters.
