outpatient clinics

[researcher1]

Hello.

I recently submitted an abstract to a conference.

At my affiliation, I wrote the organisation that I am working in (specifically a hospital), and afterwards "outpatients clinics".

I searched on the internet, and I found out that the sentence "outpatient clinics" is more common.

Should I correct the "outpatients" with the "outpatient" one, or it is a minor mistake?

Thank you in advance.

I would definitely change it if possible. Unless you're referring to multiple clinics, make both words singular.

- Use the singular "clinic" (you work at one clinic/hospital, I assume).
- Use the singular "outpatient".
In other words, use "outpatient clinic".
