Rails devise two separate registration forms - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am building a Doctor booking platform where there's a patient and a doctor.
I currently have standard devise setup with one user model and one signup form, I want to have to separate forms one for patient where I will pass params role of patient and a doctor form with params of doctor role so I can assign roles from the controller or the model.
The forms will be quite the same only for doctor I will require some extra fields.
Also my doctor as it belongs to a user will have the ability to book an appointment with other doctors, is it a good practice to use boolean to define whether it's a doctor or not or use roles with enum.
I need help please

What about hidden_field_tag, did you have tried anything or want to clear concept? You can do this using hidden_field_tag like if you create those form using bootstrap tab like this
$('#myTabs a').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault()
$(this).tab('show')
})

<div>
<!-- Nav tabs -->
<ul class="nav nav-tabs" role="tablist">
<li role="presentation" class="active">Doctor</li>
<li role="presentation">Patient</li>
</ul>
<h2>Just example form</h2>
<!-- Tab panes -->
<div class="tab-content">
<div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane active" id="home">
<h2>Doctor?</h2>
<form>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputEmail1">Email address</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleInputEmail1" placeholder="Email">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputPassword1">Password</label>
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="exampleInputPassword1" placeholder="Password">
</div>
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox"> Check me out
</label>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>
<div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane" id="profile">
<h2>Patient?</h2>
<form>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputEmail1">Email address</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="exampleInputEmail1" placeholder="Email">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputPassword1">Password</label>
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="exampleInputPassword1" placeholder="Password">
</div>
<div class="checkbox">
<label>
<input type="checkbox"> Check me out
</label>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
in the form, you can just use a hidden field like when form for doctor
<%= f.hidden_field :role, value: "doctor" %>
and when form for Patient
<%= f.hidden_field :role, value: "patient" %>
and permit their role in the application_controller
before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
protected
def configure_permitted_parameters
devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up, keys: [:email, :role])
end
I thing it will help.
