I'm watching Scrubs and Greys Anatomy and Bailey in Greys told Karev that Dr. Torres was a resident and she out ranked him. In scrubs J. D was going from Intern to Resident. I'm not sure what the difference is.

An intern is a doctor taking training post as a part of the academic curriculum. The experience they are on are taken being a part of their academic education.
A resident is holding a post graduate training. This means the doctor who has achieved academic completion and graduated as a doctor can work as a resident.
Attending- if you will say attending doctor, it can be anyone who attended the patient, though it could also mean the consultant.. The consultant is a doctoe who underwent specialized training or qualification and is directly responsible of the patient under his care. The intern and resident are working under him.
To make it clearer:
Training before graduation is intern; resident after graduation; attending or consultant after specialization or after higher qualifications.♥

A lot of hospitals refer to the first year docs (fresh out of med school) as 'interns'. Some do not...to some, they're all residents. Those that do, they refer to the doctors who have been out of school for at least a year or two as 'residents', thus, they would outrank an intern. An attending just refers to the attending physician at a given time or in a given area who is over the residents/interns.

In a hospital, people with MD's are grouped into three general ranks. At the top of list are the Attending Physicians. These are doctors who have completed their residency, are fully licensed in their specialty, and are usually in charge of a unit (including supervising resident training).
Residents are doctors who have completed med school (they are actually doctors), and currently doing in-hospital training in a specialty area (like internal medicine, emergency medicine, OB/GYN, etc).
Interns are brand-new MDs in their first year of residency. Most doctors serve one year as an intern doing rotations through all the major units in a hospital.
