Medical Residency

Medical residency is a period of specialized training for doctors after they graduate from medical school. During residency, doctors work in hospitals or clinics under the guidance of experienced physicians, gaining hands-on experience in their chosen specialty, such as surgery, pediatrics, or internal medicine. This phase typically lasts from three to seven years, depending on the specialty, and it involves a combination of patient care, learning, and working long hours. The goal of residency is to prepare doctors to provide competent, independent care in their field before they become fully licensed practitioners.
