It's an interesting idea to limit editing to representatives of a particular
professional domain. In many ways the GPL does this implicitly for Free
Software, and the fact that software must run eliminates incompetent
contributions. I assume there are medical registries you can check to ensure
that contributors are who they say they are.

One thing, though:

I would advise you to take the licence down and remove the CC logos. 
It's not a
CC licence so you cannot identify it as such. You *can* produce a variant
licence based on the CC licences, but you cannot call it a CC licence, and you
cannot use the CC logo to brand it.

(I am not a lawyer, I am not Creative Commons).
