medical clinic
Where doctors work
A medical clinic is a facility where patients receive outpatient healthcare—treatment that doesn't require overnight hospitalization.
Clinics range from small private practices to large multi-specialty centers.
They may focus on general care or specialize: a fertility clinic, a sports medicine clinic, a walk-in clinic.
Unlike hospitals, clinics typically handle routine visits, minor procedures, and ongoing management of conditions.
