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

'house physician?' is the definition.
('resident' can be a synonym of 'house physician')

(Other definitions for resident that I've seen before include "One living in the place referred to" , "One living somewhere" , "Permanent dweller" , "Someone with a home" , "Incumbent" .)
