English translation: clinical practice

Medical - Medical: Dentistry
Spanish term or phrase: Clínica
I 'm translating undergraduate dentistry program study topics from Spanish (Colombia) to English (UK).
In the course of their education, students take subjects such as:
"Introducción a la Clínica"
"Clinica integrada"
*Clínica integrada del niño y el adolescente"
"Clínica de odontología pediátrica"

In the context, the term "clínica" evidently does not refer to a physical installation.
I'm doubtful as to whether it refers to Clinical Practice or Clinical Dentistry or simply Clinics

Many thanks

Medical diagnostics - Care - Practice


Explanation:
It refers to the medical practice, not the building. It's the metodology by which the doctor "uncovers" the patient's ailment based on semiology (sympthoms) and the medical science. Your reasoning is correct. You can see an example below from the Minnesota carreer center. You could use care as well. I'll leave below the link to the merriam webster dictionary for "clinic" so you'll see all the possible applications for this term in English.
The medical diagnostics field is exactly that.

Although in the last two examples, without context, it could be very well the building where the medical practice takes place. Be careful with it.

clinic


Explanation:
In English it is used the same as in Spanish. It can be
an establishment or hospital department where outpatients are given medical treatment, or a conference or short course on a particular subject.

clinical training


Explanation:
As part of education 'clinical training' is another possibility. For your informatioin I found a definition of 'health centre' or 'medical centre' to be 'clínica ambulatoria'.
