externs

Nonresident medical students

Externs are students or recent graduates gaining practical experience through short-term placements, typically in law or medicine.

A legal extern works at a court or firm for academic credit rather than pay, distinguishing the role from a paid internship.

In medicine, an extern observes clinical practice before formal residency.
