is a person working as an intern in a hospital considerd a DR?

Answer 1

YES

Answer 2

Yes, they are. An intern is a first year post graduate, which simply means that he/she has completed medical school and is now in training (which is required for any specialty)in their first year.They are granted the title of M.D. or D.O. after they have successfully completed med school. They have suffered through the hardships and trials of med school and have had vast experience with many problems because as med students, they get the very worst conditions that nobody wants to handle. A residency program will either be three years or four years (depending on what type of specialty you are going into). A family practice physician will only have to go through three years but will see all kinds of patients.
A surgical resident has to endure an additional year. There are also other specialties which require four years as well as fellowship training. There are as well, subspecialties. The interns also are not considered working, they are in the practice of medicine and.they are given a stipend and have the option of selecting training in another teaching hospital after the first year if they are not happy. Interns only practice in teaching hospitals which gives them a wide range of patients.

I was a coordinator for a residency program in a large teaching hospital, so I am not just speaking from the top of my head. Interns are great people. Probably the best you will find because they are still considered fairly human and have not developed the big ego that may be acquired after they complete a residency and pass their boards.
Besides that, they have an attending to help them make decisions. If you have more questions, email me.
Some of the stuff you see on TV is not an accurate portrayal of the real information.

Answer 3

They are not considered doctors ; they are doctors. They have all graduated from accredited medical schools and passed all the required licensing exams.
For their first year of residency only they are considered interns after that they are residents. Residency's can last from three to six years during which time the resident will make slightly more than minimum wage if you calculate it from an hours in to wages out point of view.

Answer 4

After medical school - four years of post graduate training - the last two being largely clinical, and passing a comprehensive exam, you are granted the title "Doctor."

To complete your training you need to complete three years of residency. An intern refers to a doctor who is in his/her first year of residency. A resident is responsible to an attending doctor who oversees his/her work.

Answer 5

i think they are still called interns. when they complete their internships and pass the final test, whatever that is, then they are full doctors, i'd imagine.

Answer 6

technically yes

BUT THEY KNOW VERY LITTLE. It is obvious by the numerous ones I talked to BUT now and then you will get someone who knows but it's VERY UNlikely

They are VERY INEXPERIENCED,

They try to bluff , BUT an expirrienced PATIENT who KNOWS their disease will know if they do not know what they are talkign about.
