medical residency
Hospital apprenticeship period
Medical residency is the period of advanced clinical training that follows medical school, during which a physician practices under supervision while specializing in a particular field.
Residencies typically last three to seven years depending on the specialty.
A resident is both learning and working, often logging grueling hours: She's in her second year of residency at Johns Hopkins.
The term reflects the historical practice of doctors literally residing at the hospital during training.
