'medical practice' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'hope to stay involved' is the wordplay.
'involved' indicates anagramming the letters (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'hope'+'to'+'stay'='hopetostay'
'hopetostay' anagrammed gives 'OSTEOPATHY'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for osteopathy that I've seen before include "treatment" , "form of therapy" .)
