Danish term

Introlæge

Danish to English Medical Medical (general)
This is for UK English please and is from a CV for a doctor who's now a hospital consultant.

Initially this doctor worked as a turnuslæge (house officer) first in a hospital (12 months)
then in a GP practice (6 months),
then as an Introlæge (6 months in a GP practice)
then as an turnuslæge in a GP practice
and then as an Introlæge in a hospital
and next as a Reservelæge (senior house officer - according to the definitions from the Danish Medical Association).

From reading up on this (Introduktionsstilling*) I initially thought that this position was similar to an internship or foundation programme, but the fact that the doc started as a turnuslæge has me confused.

Foundation Doctor

Intern would be a suitable translation for American English, however in the United Kingdom the correct term would be a Foundation Doctor.

Thanks Sven. It seems that foundation doctor is correct for the UK. We use intern in Ireland and it's also used in the US.
