Doctor wearing fur creates conflict (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

combat

'conflict' is the definition.
(I know that combat is a type of conflict)

'doctor wearing fur' is the wordplay.
'doctor' becomes 'MB' (Bachelor of Medicine, Medicinae Baccalaureus).
'wearing' is an insertion indicator.
'fur' becomes 'coat' (an animal's coat).
'mb' inserted within 'coat' is 'COMBAT'.

'creates' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for combat that I've seen before include "Military fighting" , "A fight or contest, sometimes mortal" , "Military action" , "sort of jacket" , "Conflict" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
