medical students

Aspiring physician trainees

Medical students are people enrolled in medical school, training to become physicians.

The term often evokes long hours, heavy debt, and grueling study: The medical students pulled an all-nighter before their anatomy exam.

In teaching hospitals, medical students assist with patient care under supervision, occupying the lowest rung of the clinical hierarchy.
