Who is a "resident"?

A resident is a doctor who has completed medical school and is undergoing specialized training in a hospital or clinic. This period, known as residency, typically lasts between three to seven years, depending on the medical specialty. During this time, residents work under the supervision of experienced doctors, gaining experience in patient care, performing procedures, and improving their medical knowledge and skills. Residents are essential for hospitals to function properly, often working long hours and managing a large amount of patient care, while they progress toward becoming fully independent doctors in their chosen specialty.
