Would this use case not be covered by the existing clinician term?

[willrockout]

Yeah, that's what I was leaning towards but I thought it wasn't specific enough. You have a better idea on these than me so if you think it works I will use clinician.

[daniwelter]

Assuming this is for the contacts tab, unless there's a really compelling argument why users must know that this contributor is specifically a (micro)surgeon rather than a clinician in general (as opposed to an experimental scientist, computational scientist or PI), I don't think we need to capture this level of detail. I'd rather not set a precedent of becoming too detailed this early on or we may end up with submitters jumping up and down, insisting on very specific job titles.

If you're happy with that, please close the ticket :)

Works for me!
