A clinic is a healthcare facility where you receive outpatient care. There are many types of clinics. Some are stand-alone practices, while others may be associated with a hospital or university. There are many types of health clinics that provide outpatient care. Many clinics provide routine medical and preventive care, while others focus on specific types of care. Some types of clinics focus on providing primary and preventive care to underserved communities. Anything related to or conducted in a clinic are known as clinical. If you treat patients or provide direct patient care of any type, your job is clinical. Non-clinical work may support patient care, but the work does not provide direct diagnosis, treatment, or care for the patient. Clinical roles often have face-to-face contact with patients for the purpose of diagnosis, treatment and ongoing care. Some clinical professions are behind-the-scenes, such as laboratory professionals whose work supports diagnosis and treatment. Physician, hospitalist and nurse practitioner are some of the clinical professions.
