clinics
Outpatient care facilities
Clinics are healthcare facilities that provide outpatient medical services, typically more specialized or limited in scope than hospitals.
A clinic might focus on a particular type of care—a dental clinic, a fertility clinic, a walk-in clinic for minor ailments.
The word also describes group instruction sessions where experts teach skills: a basketball clinic, a writing clinic.
When someone "puts on a clinic," they demonstrate masterful skill at something, as if teaching by example.
