Some issues
editIssues: 1) Is CRRI a standard short-form? I will remove it unless somebody feels otherwise. Prashanthns (talk) 16:01, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
2) In comparison, in India, the Internship or the Housemanship or the House Surgeoncy or the House Officership - all are considered to be the same. Besides, there is no cadre of a House Physician in India. This is because, in India, the Doctor who is undergoing higher specialty training following Internship is called a "Post-Graduate student" (i.e., a Medicine PG student or a Surgery PG student).
- This sentence is not clear. What is it trying to convey? Does this mean that PG students may be considered to be the same niche as House physicians? Can you clarify?
My reply
edit1) 'CRRI' is the most commonly known short form rather than the obscure terms as Houseman or House Surgeon (which is more popular in India than the former).
2) The notations used in common parlance in India consider that all the above titles denote the same. There is no medical counterpart, called House Physician, to the seemingly Surgical term: House Surgeon (one is still a General Physician and not a 'Surgeon').
In countries other than India, a Doctor undergoing specialty training is called a Resident Doctor, or simply a resident or a House Officer but in India he is considered a student and hence called a PG student. In short, in India it is a period of 'learning' (hence called a student and given a stipend), but in other countries it is a period of 'training' (hence called a Resident doctor and given a salary).
I hope this is clear, as far as I know to explain. But the facts are very accurate. Now things are changing as I have explained in the article

- Thanks. Could you also try to provide as many sources as possible especially for things like CRRI. Please see WP:CITE for details. Thanks. Prashanthns (talk) 17:09, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- The Medical Council of India (MCI) is the one-and-only authority in such matters in India and the first reference link that you have provided, addresses the issue very well (please read until the last few paragraphs of that link). For the issues relating to countries other than India, I will provide the necessary links (Ref no.: 2, 3 for the US).
Mind Swapper (talk) 14:34, 30 April 2008 (UTC)- The Comparison section looks too long and confusing. I suggest shortening and stating the sentences shorter. I think there is too much explanation happening there. Prashanthns (talk) 17:11, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- I require your help in doing the same. But I feel the facts cannot be cut-short since I feel that they are necessary to clear the confusion in the usage of different terminology.
