Medical - Medical: Health Care / Krankenhaus
German term or phrase: Assistenzarzt (UK)
I believe it is "resident" in the US, but it is unclear what this position should be called in a British context. It could be House Officer, but I would like to know people's opinions.

Explanation:
'junior doctor' is a good general term that one can use for both the US and the UK. In the UK the 'official' term used to be a 'pre-registration house officer' or a 'senior house officer'. It is currently 'foundation doctor'.
