They make a tactical holster that now goes under scrubs, warmups, and the like. Goes around your whole waist, no need for a belt.
Who makes that one?

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.

Except it doesn't provide coverage of the trigger. I won't use (and will not recommend to anyone else) a concealed carry system that doesn't not cover and protect the trigger from accidental discharge.

Pretty sure that would be pretty conspicuous through my scrubs, no?
I know several surgical nurses who carry Shields or Kahrs in belly bands under their scrubs. I''m envisioning "shirttail out" or loose-fitting top.

Ingenious device, but I'll pass. When I pocket carry a concealed gun, I prefer to carry it in a holster that covers and protects the trigger (as well as protecting the rest of the gun from lint and anything else one might accidentally slip in the pocket). W/ such a holster, once the gun's drawn from the holster, it's ready to go. The trigger block device adds one more operation to carry out (during a stressful time) before the gun can be made operational.

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.

I agree with everything you said, but everyone that carries with a clip should have a trigger block...

Completely agree with this. The only problem is that in some operations, I sweat like a mofo. And when I scrub out, the scrubs are literally sticking to me. I want this to be as inconspicuous as possible, so given the attire/sweating/setting/etc I'm leaning toward a 380 or 38 spec in a boot holster like this

Don't forget about the 5 o'clock position either. My shoulders are big, so my mid-sized pistol hides well there

What carrier/holster do you use?

I agree with everything Tiger said and disagree with your last assertion. My reasoning for that is it's quite irresponsible for companies making these "belt clips" to encourage people to carry without a holster protecting the trigger. It truly is a recipe for disaster.
If you look at the new Taurus Curve, it has a belt clip too but Taurus created a trigger guard sleeve to most likely avoid a legal backlash if people accidentally started shooting themselves.
If you're gonna carry in the waistband, use a holster with good retention that covers the trigger. If you carry in your pocket, use a good pocket holster that covers the trigger and stays in your pocket when the gun is drawn. Those are the simplest criteria to follow.
If you carry without protecting the trigger, it's a continued risk to yourself and those around you. I suggest you scrap it.
Or do whatever you want... This is America anyway...

Everybody (OK, wait for the dissenter who'll be along shortly) can shoot a mid-size Glock better than they can shoot a J-frame S&W revolver. Plus the 9mm will make bigger holes in the bad guy, and have a lot less felt recoil than a J-frame revolver.

N8 squared, but that probably wouldn't work for you. You really need to wear a belt with it

I'm not a big fan of glocks and I hate revolvers, but this statement is absurd.

Or I'd have to sinch the draw strings of my scrubs REALLY tight
Other than that, the 5 o'clock position would be great for me, both for the conceal and the draw (if ever needed).
