Spanish term

médico becario

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
Appears in a doctor's C.V. I think it might mean "volunteer physician" or something like that because it was the doctor's position with the Mexican Red Cross. Can anyone confirm?

Lots of references online... WIKIPEDIA:
FELLOWSHIP
A fellowship is the period of medical training in the United States and Canada that a physician or dentist may undertake after completing a specialty training program (residency). During this time (usually more than one year), the physician is known as a fellow. Fellows are capable of acting as attending physician or consultant physician in the generalist field in which they were trained, such as internal medicine or pediatrics. After completing a fellowship in the relevant sub-specialty, the physician is permitted to practice without direct supervision by other physicians in that sub-specialty, such as cardiology or oncology.

In US medical institutions, a fellow refers to someone who has completed residency training (e.g. in internal medicine, pediatrics, general surgery, etc.) and is currently in a 1 to 3 year subspecialty training program (e.g. cardiology, pediatric nephrology, transplant surgery, etc.).

medical scholarship? It seems to be something along those lines, could we have more context?
