Doctor joining American Medical Association in theatre work (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drama

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

'theatre work' is the definition.
(I know that drama is a type of play)

'doctor joining american medical association' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'Dr' (abbreviation).
'joining' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'american medical association' becomes 'ama' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'dr'+'ama'='DRAMA'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drama that I've seen before include "Emotional sequence of events (made out of a crisis?)" , "Exciting play or event" , "Plays as a genre" , "theatre show" , "High emotion" .)
