I have put this off for too long, but I intend to start carrying regularly. So, I need your expertise in both weapon and holster that would work best for my situation.
Some details that might help: I wear scrubs and boots at work ~75% of the time.
TIA fellas

Which caliber do you plan on carrying? Do you prefer that the gun have an external safety?

Develop a relationship with an attorney you can call day or night if needed. Don't wait until after an event to go thumbing through the yellow pages.
NRA has a list of recommended attorneys in each state.

Having to wear scrubs so much of the time makes things problematic. Pretty much rules out the usual methods of cc, outside waistband, inside waistband, other methods of belt carry and shoulder holster; few folks who start w/ an ankle holster continue to use it long term. Pocket carry is also a problem w/ scrubs. In my experience, the pockets in scrub suits are too shallow so that "things" frequently fall out of the pockets when one sits down; this holds true even w/ thigh pockets. Belly band type device (or those t shirts I've seen that have a holster sewn into them) are feasible. I've never used it and am basically uneasy w/ it, but "Smart Carry" might be an option, as well. Can you wear a "fanny pack?" As far as guns, my first rec would be a single stack 9mm (like the Shield) if you can comfortbly carry it. If not, I'd look at a pocket 380. In this situation, I'd personally, feel more comfortable w/ a a gun has a double action only type action and that an external safety lever. A lightweight snub nose w/ +P 38 Spec is also an option, as long as you learn the manual of arms adequately.

I have a couple of these undershirts with the built in holster that I wear walking or bike riding. They would be good under a loose scrub. They can get a little warm sometimes.

In scrubs I'd go with a .380 like the LCP Custom. Not an ideal gun but scrubs limits your option at work

Depends on how much money you want to spend.
I carry an XDs - 9mm in a de satis soft tuck inside the waste band holster, but plan on getting the de satis mini scabbard or small of back holster, which are belt holsters, for the winter, when wearing a jacket. roughly between $500-550
If you want to spend more - $700-800 - the Sig p938 would be a good gun to look at, its much smaller, but not too small, and is one of the smoothest guns I've ever shot right out the box. This will definitely be the next conceal carry gun I purchase.
Other solid choices - glock 42, and the m&p shield
Most importantly - get what is most comfortable to you, both in your hands, and concealing it, because if it isn't, you will not carry it as much as you'd like.

I'd go one size up in scrubs, find a pistol that I'm comfortable with, and have the scrubs tailored. Make the scrubs fit the fun, not the gun fit the scrubs.
