I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for 'doctor' is the definition.
(doctor is a type of medic)

'some dictionaries include' is the wordplay.
'include' indicates a hidden word.
'MEDIC' can be found hidden inside 'some dictionaries'.

'word' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for medic that I've seen before include "He may offer treatment" , "Physician (informal)" , "Health worker" , "Eg, doctor" , "Word for 'doctor'" .)
