Answer 1

You would need to inherit the model and overwrite the selection field with your new selections.

Class OeHealthPhysicianInherit(models.Model):

_inherit  = 'oeh.medical.physician'

consultation_type = fields.Selection([
  ('New consultation', 'New consultation'),
  ('Followed by consultation', 'Followed by consultation')
])

Answer 2

To override the consultation field and add new selection values, use the selection_add parameter:

selection_add -- provides an extension of the selection in the case of an overridden field. It is a list of pairs (value, string).
