medical assistance
As I see it, the difference here is simply between healthcare/medical assistance (atención médica, en general), i.e. working with patients on the one hand, and the "actividades de docencia e investigación" on the other.

Comment: "Hi neilmac! Long time no see. Yes, I see your point. Medical practice then. Do you allow me to change it for "medical practice, don't you? Thank you! And thanks Charlie Higgins as well. Claudia"

Note from asker:
| Robert, I've already checked it. I always do before posting a question. But it was closed without grading and although I like "primary care medicine", I'm not quite sure of it in my context. Cheers. Claudia |
