How it's used
Focuses specifically on the professional presence of a medical practitioner at a fixed location. It implies a scheduled or official capacity rather than just a casual visit. Use this when clarifying who is currently available to see patients at a clinic or hospital ward.
Examples
There is a resident doctor at this clinic today.
Do you know which doctor is responsible for being on duty?

Common mistake
Avoid using this for general work or presence; it is strictly reserved for medical contexts. Do not confuse it with 坐診, which is more common in some other Chinese-speaking regions to describe a doctor seeing patients at a clinic.
