Medical - Medical (general)
English term or phrase: practitioner / physician
Es un texto sobre el marketing de veterinarios y también sale "practitioner" y "physician". Se puede usar estos dos términos también para veterinarios o son médicos (medicina humana) en estas frases? Para mi suena más a una digresión a la asistencia sanitaria humana...
"...the switching costs for clients of veterinary services have probably decreased in recent years. Improvements in medical records with the inclusion of digital images and an emphasis on documentation make it easier for one practice to assume treatment of a case seen elsewhere. Larger practices in which clients are less likely to see and bond with a particular PRACTITIONER may promote movement between practices. In general, the population seems more knowledgeable of medical issues owing to increased media attention, online information, and education, and takes a more active role in selecting and evaluating all aspects of their medical care. Continuity of care and a good relationship between the patient and PHYSICIAN are known to improve outcomes and decrease disenrollment..."
Gracias de antemano!

Spanish translation:médico
Explanation:
En ambos casos, utilizar la palabra médico.
Viene a hacer referencia al médico veterinario, que, dentro del contexto, tiene la connotación que en otras partes tendría un médico de medicina humana. Así si estamos hablando de un artículo de medicina veterinaria, si escribís "médico," se sobreentiende que no va a ser un ginecólogo o un médico general, sino un veterinario. La traducción para physician o practioner (aunque practitioner signifique literalmente practicante) es simplemente "médico".
