junior doctor
Hospital training physician
A junior doctor is a physician in the early stages of postgraduate training, working under supervision while gaining clinical experience.
The term is primarily British, covering the years between medical school graduation and consultant or specialist status—a period that can span a decade despite the word "junior." American English prefers resident or trainee.
Junior doctors voted to strike over pay and working conditions.
