I understand that medical internship is called امتياز. If so, does this mean that when this doctor joined the hospital, he was an intern, or does the term mean something different here?

This makes sense. Although I wonder which month of the year they usually start their internship. Do they start immediately after they graduate? Do they start after the summer is over. This person may have started at another hospital a few months earlier then transferred to this hospital in January.

Not sure whether this adds anything, but the residency is called in Egypt �����.
Alaa Zeineldine Dec 6, 2004:
Make sure you calculate based on five academic years before internship. After the sixth year, which is the internship, he would have received his degree, then he would still have done two years of paid residency in a hospital before being fully licensed.
Non-ProZ.com Dec 6, 2004:
No, I don't have that information. But calcualting from his date of birth, it seems plausible that 1993 was his internship year. If so, then it would appear that he continued with the same hospital after he completed his internship.
Alaa Zeineldine Dec 6, 2004:
Hello Fuad, do you have the date in which the person received his Bachelor's degree, and if so, is it before or after the above date?

Internship is spent as rotations at hospitals. 1/1/83 is the day he started his internship year. Going from one hospital to another, he is an intern, until the year is over.

The way it is done in Egypt is you graduate (more or less at the same time for all universities). A month or so after graduation, internship starts (12 months of two-month rotations at major specialities. Half at gov. hospitals, the other half at uni. hospitals). Then you obtain the license to practice as a doctor. Some move to rural health service. Those with college posts awaiting them,go to become residents. The rest, destined to work for the government, then apply for residencies, to become specialists later. Selection subject to several factors.

It is possible of course for a grad. to apply to spend his internship or part of it, at hospitals outside the area of his university (closer to home for instance)...subject to acquiring necessary approvals of course.
