Conjunction indicates the kind of association, requiring "with".
Doctor is living specie, so use who instead of that, which is used for non-livings.

C should be correct choice.

A. to work in the conjunction of a doctor who
B. to work in conjunction with a doctor that
C. to work in conjunction with a doctor who
D. to work in conjunction of a doctor that
