Study abnormal tits, being a health professional (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dentist

'a health professional' is the definition.
(I know that dentist is a type of medic)

'study abnormal tits' is the wordplay.
'study' becomes 'den' (term for a study or office).
'abnormal' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tits' with letters rearranged gives 'tist'.
'den'+'tist'='DENTIST'

'being' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dentist that I've seen before include "Oral surgeon" , "Tooth doctor" , "Practitioner who looks down in the mouth?" , "expert in oral examination" , "Teeth specialist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
