Doctor receiving education in charge of doctor (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

medico

'doctor' is the definition.
('medico' can be a synonym of 'doctor')

'doctor receiving education in charge' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'mo' (medical officer**).
'receiving' is an insertion indicator.
'education' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation - e.g. sex ed).
'in charge' becomes 'ic'.
'ed'+'ic'='edic'
'mo' going around 'edic' is 'MEDICO'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for medico that I've seen before include "Health practitioner" , "quack" , "Doctor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
