Q2

2. No 3 is not nearly as natural as 1

Answer

There is no standard equivalent to 'teaching' for a doctor. None of the options mentioned so far are correct. 
Not all doctors heal people, and not all doctors see patients either. But they are still doctors. 
If this is an English test or example, you should complain, as the question is flawed.
