Who are residents?

Residents are physicians who have completed medical school and are now training in a specialty such as surgery, family medicine, or psychiatry. Specialty training lasts from two to six years, and upon completion of residency and examinations, residents become fully licensed physicians.

Residents deliver round-the-clock frontline medical care to patients and their families in intensive care units, surgical and medical wards, outpatient clinics and other hospitals and community facilities. They are also active in academic research and make significant contributions to medical education; teaching students, peers, and other healthcare professionals.
