med student
Aspiring physician trainee
A med student is a student in medical school, training to become a physician.
The term is casual shorthand for "medical student" and appears constantly in conversation among healthcare workers and students themselves: I was a med student when I saw my first surgery.
The experience is notoriously demanding—long hours, heavy coursework, clinical rotations—making "med student" shorthand for someone sleep-deprived and overworked.
