Doctor in training
A resident physician is a doctor who has completed medical school and is undergoing specialized training at a hospital or clinic.
Residency typically lasts three to seven years depending on the specialty, during which residents treat patients under supervision while gradually assuming more responsibility.
Often shortened to resident: The resident will see you first, then the attending physician.
