En espana lo normal es "expediente médico" ó "historial médico" ó incluso "ficha médica" (ahora que hay ordenadores)
El término "archivos médicos" se entendería, pero sobre todo se refiere a un conjunto de los anteriores: -"El viejo dentista conservaba todos sus archivos médicos, donde guardaba todos los expedientes de sus pacientes" -"He perdido su expediente médico, ahora tendré que ir a buscarlo a los archivos" de todas maneras se te sobreentendería. saludos ![]()

Thank you. Expedient and expediente are false cognates, because
expedient means something like catalyst in English. Is expediente the term for police files too?

Oh yeah, these are good, juicy, false cognates... "donde los haya".
(expedient in English means "a means to an end" and that has nothing to do with the Spanish "expediente" in the sense of "records"... ni harto de vino.) ![]() Oxford Superlex gives, expediente2 m 1 a (documentos) file, dossier; ponga este documento en el expediente del Sr Gómez = put this document in Mr Gómez’s file; el expediente del paciente = the patient’s (medical) records; expediente académico = student record; un arquitecto con un brillante expediente profesional = an architect with a brilliant track record; cubrir el expediente = to do enough to get by
