# Managing Doctor Profiles in Turnero Administration

> Learn how clinic admins add and remove doctor profiles in Turnero so doctors appear in the appointment scheduling form and patient visit records.

Doctor profiles in Turnero control who appears in the appointment scheduling dropdown and who can log in to manage patient records. Only users with the **Admin** role can manage doctor profiles.

## Adding a Doctor

<Steps>
  <Step title="Log in with an Admin account">
    Sign in using credentials for a Turnero account that has the **Admin** role assigned.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go to Administration → Doctors">
    Open the main navigation menu and select **Administration → Doctors**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click New Doctor">
    On the Doctors list page, click the **New Doctor** button to open the creation form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the doctor's Name">
    Type the doctor's display name in the **Name** field. This name appears on appointment records and in the scheduling dropdown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the associated User Account">
    Choose the linked user account from the **User Account** dropdown. Only accounts that already have the **Medico** role assigned appear in this list. If the dropdown is empty, [create and assign the Medico role to a user first](/administration/user-management).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Save">
    Click **Save** to create the doctor profile. The doctor is now available in the appointment scheduling form.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Deleting a Doctor

To remove a doctor profile, click the **delete** button next to the doctor's name on the **Administration → Doctors** list page. The deletion takes effect immediately.

<Warning>
  Deleting a doctor does not remove their past appointments or patient visit records. However, the doctor will no longer appear in the scheduling dropdown for new appointments.
</Warning>

## Doctor and User Account Relationship

Each doctor profile must be linked to a Turnero user account. Keep the following in mind when creating doctor profiles:

* The linked user account must have the **Medico** role assigned before it appears in the User Account dropdown.
* A single user account can only be linked to one doctor profile.
* If no Medico-role accounts exist yet, [create a user account and assign the Medico role](/administration/user-management) first, then return here to create the doctor profile.

<Note>
  Only users with the **Admin** role can access the Doctors management section under Administration.
