Having completed eight years of higher education, physicians that enter a residency program are known as residents. Resident programs range from three to seven years in length, depending on the chosen specialty. Occasionally, residents will be called interns during their first year of residency, though this is no longer common. After the completion of their residency program, a physician may decide to enter into practice.
