Ya know, I don't think there is a specific rule. Nearly any phrase can turn into an adjective. So it may technically be correct, but common usage will dictate what phrases work better for communicating an idea.
Thank god we have a wide variety of words to choose from to communicate our ideas and thoughts, otherwise people might become confused. Unless, of course, that is your goal.
And if you can't figure out if your woman doctor is treating women or happens to be female, or both. Then ... I can't help you.
