# Doctor Referral

The **Doctor Referral** feature on the **Medical Records** screen allows doctors to refer a patient to another doctor within the clinic. When a referral is made using this option, a new visit is automatically created for the referred doctor, scheduled for the current date. 

{% hint style="info" %}
This option is used to refer any in-clinic doctor. Referral details from other doctors, whether in-clinic or external, can also be recorded. Navigate to **Doctor Referral** under **More Actions** in the Patient Queue to learn more.
{% endhint %}
