A person who specializes in clinical work or clinical methods in medicine; a clinician or one who practices clinical medicine.
From 'clinic' (Greek 'kline', bed, plus French '-ique') plus the agent suffix '-ist', describing one who practices clinical medicine.
Though 'clinicist' and 'clinician' are near-synonyms, 'clinicist' emphasizes someone devoted specifically to clinical methods and practice—it's a word more commonly used in academic medical contexts!
Variant term for clinician; same historical male default applies, though less commonly used.
Prefer 'clinician' (more standard) and use gender-neutrally.
