14.1 Prerequisites for applying to a specialist training program.Whereas medical school teaches physicians a broad range of medical knowledge, basic clinical skills, and supervised experience practicing medicine in a variety of fields, medical residency gives in-depth training within a specific branch of medicine.

Residency training may be followed by fellowship or sub-specialty training. An individual engaged in such training may be referred to as a resident, registrar or trainee depending on the jurisdiction. In the meantime they practice 'on' the license of their supervising physician. In many jurisdictions, successful completion of such training is a requirement in order to obtain an unrestricted license to practice medicine, and in particular a license to practice a chosen specialty. It refers to a qualified physician (one who holds the degree of MD, DO, MBBS, MBChB), dentist ( DDS or DMD) or podiatrist ( DPM) who practices medicine, dentistry, or podiatry, respectively, usually in a hospital or clinic, under the direct or indirect supervision of a senior medical clinician registered in that specialty such as an attending physician or consultant. Residency or postgraduate training is specifically a stage of graduate medical education.
