Medic with a degree seen in theatre (5)
I believe the answer is:
drama
'theatre' is the definition.
(I know that drama is a type of theatre)
'medic with a degree' is the wordplay.
'medic' becomes 'dr' (doctor).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'degree' becomes 'ma' (Master of Arts is a type of degree).
'dr'+'a'+'ma'='DRAMA'
'seen in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for drama that I've seen before include "Stage production" , "Theatrical production" , "Stage play - turmoil" , "Literary genre for the theatre" , "Plays as branch of literature" .)
