07/27/2023, 3:32 PMHi guys. I'm trying to create an extension for a Practitioner, specifically the job title Resource Practitioner Extension, and I'm having some trouble navigating medplum docs and FHIR docs to do this. If theres any way I can get pointed in the right direction, it would be helpful. To give context, im trying to label a specific Practitioner's role, such as a surgeon, which is why I want to utilize the job title extension.

07/27/2023, 3:37 PMHi @mikee6290 , rather than use an extension, you might want to refer to our guide on modeling Provider Credentials: https://www.medplum.com/docs/fhir-datastore/provider-directory/provider-credentials#medical-specialty

07/27/2023, 5:05 PMHey @rahul1 , if i wanted to add qualifications to the Practitioner resource, would i do so within the json in the app.medplum console?
