The Hippocratic profession offers a lot of paths for doctors to take, in the form of specializations. Choosing a path imbues one with more knowledge, and a greater authority in the particular field chosen, but entails spending more years of study and training. For doctors looking into acquiring a specialization, the journey begins with residency.
Residency is one of the stages of graduate medical training, and comprises a physician’s first steps towards specialization. Needless to say, only individuals who have received a medical, podiatric, or dental degree are permitted to pursue residency.
