[quote=Anonymous]So to clarify medical training- it starts with a undergrad degree in anything with prerequisites, then MCAT then 4 years of medical school. Once you get through medical school, you are a physician. You then specialize via residency, which is an apprenticeship model. Once you are in residency, you are no longer a student but a trainee. We are then boarded in our specialties once we complete residency. So technically an MD who completes med school is a physician but has to complete residency to be board eligible for their speciality. No need for a masters. -MD [/quote]
