Medical student

For the print newspaper, see The Medical Student.

A medical student is an individual enrolled at a medical school with the eventual goal of becoming a medical doctor.

Medical students are exposed to both preclinical and clinical studies throughout their professional education, and are generally conferred a medical degree upon successful completion of the required curriculum.

Further training through a residency program in addition to board certification is required in many jurisdictions prior to individuals becoming eligible to obtain a medical license and practice as a physician.
