The answer

The medical field is serious due to the potential harm it can cause to lives and bodies, and the has clarified this. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever practices medicine without having been known for it before is liable," and in another narration: "Whoever practices medicine and is not known for it is liable." Since you are a practitioner and not a specialist, and you need to learn and do not know much in this field, it is not permissible for you to teach the aforementioned woman or anyone else anything they seek to learn from you.
