Family life in Colonial Virginia was difficult. Ladies as young as 16 years old get married and have an average of 8 children. Child birth was a common cause of death as there were no medicines and doctors.
Male and female doctors wore white smocks over their street clothes. The nurses wore the starched caps. Since the 1960's (the 'let it all hang out' generation) came into play doctors are often in suits, or even some are in casual clothing with the exception of being properly 'suited up with smocks. face masks and rubber gloves' during surgery. At least in British Columbia Hospitals it's difficult to tell the doctors and nurses from the civilians and if they didn't have name tags one would never know.

The same way as elsewhere, through practice and over time.
they were cobblers, blacksmiths, silversmiths, barbers, doctors, woodworkers, tailors, and tanners
Doctors were important because lots of people in colonials times got sick.
