Spanish term

Clínica

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Dentistry
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
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Neil Ashby

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Medical diagnostics - Care - Practice

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

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.

Thank you, Ramon.
neutral Neil Ashby : In this context, it is neither an outpatient clinic nor is it a short course.

Practice

In some countries "clinica" is the practice that a health provider does.

clinical training

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'.
