Residency is a stage of postgraduate medical training in North
America and leads to eligibility for board certification in a
primary care or referral specialty. It is filled by a resident
physician who has received a medical degree (M.D. or D.O.) and is
comprised almost entirely of the care of hospitalized or clinic
patients, mostly with direct supervision by more senior physicians.
A residency may follow the internship year or include the
internship year as the first year of residency. Whereas medical
school gives doctors a broad range of medical knowledge, basic
clinical skills, and limited experience practicing medicine,
medical residency gives in-depth training within a specific branch
of medicine, such as anesthesiology, dermatology, emergency
medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, neurology, obstetrics
and gynecology, pathology, pediatric medicine, psychiatry, physical
medicine and rehabilitation, radiology, radiation oncology, general
surgery. The field of surgery has several specialties such as
neurosurgery, orthopaedics, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, and
urology.
