CT brought in entrances medics (7)

I believe the answer is:

doctors

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

'medics' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'ct brought in entrances' is the wordplay.
'brought in' indicates putting letters inside.
'entrances' becomes 'doors' (door is a kind of entrance).
'ct' going into 'doors' is 'DOCTORS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for doctors that I've seen before include "Children's game staged around a hospital" , "consultants" , "Alters" , "Medical practitioners" , "Cooks" .)
