school doctor

Student health provider

A school doctor is a physician employed by or assigned to a school to monitor student health, conduct routine examinations, and handle medical issues that arise on campus.

The role varies by country and era—once common in American schools, now more typical in boarding schools or educational systems with comprehensive health services: The school doctor checked the children for lice.
