Medic in time certain to find an opening (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

embrasure

'an opening' is the definition.
(I know that embrasure is a type of opening)

'medic in time certain' is the wordplay.
'medic' becomes 'MB' (Bachelor of Medicine).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'time' becomes 'era' (era is a kind of time).
'certain' becomes 'sure' (synonyms).
'mb' going into 'era' is 'embra'.
'embra'+'sure'='EMBRASURE'

'to find' is the link.

(Another definition for embrasure that I've seen is " Opening in a wall for firing through".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
