housestaff
Hospital's junior doctors
Housestaff refers collectively to physicians in training at a hospital—interns, residents, and fellows who work under supervision while completing their medical education.
The term emphasizes their status as staff members rather than students, though they occupy a liminal position between the two: The housestaff threatened to strike over working conditions.
Also written as two words.
