what is the difference between a fellowship & a residency for a medical doctor?

Question

a doctor i am going to had both.

Answer 1

ALL medical doctors attend medical school.
After medical school, they essentially receive on-the-job training to help them put what they've learned, to work, in the real world. This first year of on-the-job training is traditionally called internship (the doctor usually referred to as an intern).
If this first year is continued with additional years in the same learning program whereby the doctor is trying to specialize his knowledge in a specific area, those years are referred to as residency (the doctor called a resident).
All doctors have an internship and residency.
If the doctor wants additional training that is even more specialized within the already specialized area of medicine, he/she enters a fellowship.

Although fellowship denotes higher education, keep in mind that it really only matters if the doctor is "practicing medicine" in a specialty area directly related to that fellowship. If he/she isn't, you may not really be benefiting from that advanced learning.

Answer 2

Hi,
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.
Residency is a stage of graduate medical training. A resident physician or resident or resident medical officer is a person who has received the title of "physician" (usually a D.O., M.D. or MBBS, MBChB, BMed) or in some circumstances, another health sciences terminal degree (such as psychology or dentistry) who practices medicine usually in a hospital or clinic. The definition of Residency varies worldwide by country and structure of the medical industry.

Thanks.

Answer 3

Residency is done after graduation while a fellowship is more like a co-op one summer during school.
