Crossword Genius

Indicate one can become a medical practitioner (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dietician

'a medical practitioner' is the definition.
(I know that dietician is a type of medical practitioner)

'indicate one can' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'can' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'canned' mean this (canned can mean drunk)).
'indicate'+'i'='indicatei'
'indicatei' with letters rearranged gives 'DIETICIAN'.

'become' is the link.

(Other definitions for dietician that I've seen before include "expert at what you should take in" , "Nutritionist" , "Food expert" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
