Medic gets points for attire (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dress

'attire' is the definition.
(dressing is a kind of attiring)

'medic gets points' is the wordplay.
'medic' becomes 'dr' (doctor).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'points' becomes 'ESS' (east and south are compass points).
'dr'+'ess'='DRESS'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for dress that I've seen before include "Garb" , "items to wear" , "Uniform" , "To prepare" , "Put on one's clothes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
