attending physicians
Senior medical staff
Attending physicians are fully licensed doctors who have completed their training and bear ultimate responsibility for patient care.
In teaching hospitals, they supervise residents and medical students while making final decisions about diagnosis and treatment.
The term distinguishes them from physicians still in training: The attending physician reviewed the intern's notes and approved the treatment plan.
