assigning physicians to patient

Hey there, We have a quick question about properly storing physicians that are associated with patients. Currently when we create a physician we want to also assign selected patients in our system to that same physician on creation. We can have a single PCP Physician And we can also have multiple non-PCP Physicians What are the recommended resources we use to save both of these types of physicians? Our initial thoughts were using the GeneralPractitioner on the Patient resource and also saving to the CareTeam resource for a PCP Physician. As for non PCP Physician’s we are thinking of storing them solely on the CareTeam. Let me know if this makes sense or if you have a better suggestion. For more context, added a screenshot on what we’re attempting to do.

Yes, the PCP on the Patient Resource and "Care Team" is the way to go. And all staff should be "Practitioners" - here's a write up of modeling care teams https://www.medplum.com/docs/fhir-datastore/provider-directory/provider-organizations#modeling-care-teams
PCP on Care team as well is reasonable
