?: I am puzzled by your question and can only guess that you are questioning whether working in a medical field makes you more prone to lupus. If this is what you are asking, then the answer is low. In fact, I know of no occupation causing one to get lupus. However if you have a strong family history of autoimmune diseases, then you may be at a somewhat higher risk to develop the condition.
