Claimed work with doctors (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

medical

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

'with doctors' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'claimed work' is the wordplay.
'work' is an anagram indicator.
'claimed' anagrammed gives 'MEDICAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for medical that I've seen before include "Fitness examination" , "Check-up - declaim (anag)" , "Declaim (anag) -- health check" , "Relating to doctoring" , "Doctor's test" .)
