Spanish term

consulta externa

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Health Care urology
Hopefully this is the final question for this particular matter. I am assuming it is "outpatient consultation", but an assumption is not good enough. So, once again, I am appealing to those who know better. This is described as the service a patient received: "Servicio: CONSULTA EXTERNA"

Thank you so much. I plan to grade all of my many questions in this area over the past week this evening.

outpatient clinics / outpatient department

Así lo pone Fernando Navarro en su Diccionario de Dudas en Medicina.
Ambas tienen un buen número de hits en Google.

También aparece lo siguiente:
Outpatient (3) Se usa para referirse al ambulatorio o servicio de consultas externas de un hospital. Ejemplo: Patient referred by GP to Outpatients = paciente remitida por su médico de cabecera al servicio de consultas externas
