I believe the answer is:

adrenaline

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hormone' is the definition.
(adrenaline is a kind of hormone)

'a medic seen regularly at a queue' is the wordplay.
'medic' becomes 'dr' (abbreviation for doctor).
'seen regularly' becomes 'ena' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a queue' becomes 'line' (a line of people).
'a'+'dr'+'ena'+'line'='ADRENALINE'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adrenaline that I've seen before include "Stimulating hormone" , "Hormone replacement" , "It stimulates" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
