Resident 

Someone who has completed 4 years of medical school, who then goes on to acquire additional training or expertise in an area of medicine. The physician is at the hospital working so many hours, that he or she is said to reside at the hospital.

The four years after medical school, when I was a resident, were the hardest years and most sleep deprived years of my life.
