You can deduct the expenses not reimbursed by your employer.
You'd keep a good written log of the miles you drive or other method of travel you use. If you are away from home over night you could deduct meals and lodging also, but not if you stay home nights and travel to see your patients, then return home that evening.

If you need to give ideas to your tax preparer you should consider getting a new tax preparer. The standard meal rate is $39 for non-transportation workers. But you may have a tax home issue. You need to consult with a tax professional familiar with these issues.

i assume that you're basically on a "non everlasting" project. if so, you may deduct any expenditures that you incur that are not reimbursed by ability of your organization (until eventually your self-employed). accommodations, foodstuff, commute, cellphones (if used solely for corporation), and so on. That'll grant you with a sturdy start up.
