ABSTRACT
1) The Japanese term “<I>kenshui</I>”was officially defined in2004when the new postgraduate medical education system began.<BR>2) Although“<I>kenshui</I>”is often translated into English as “<I>resident</I>, ”it is best translated as “<I>intern</I>, ”because a kenshui rotates through many different departments.<BR>3) A United States-style residency is more akin to what is called “<I>koki-kenshu</I>” in Japanese.<BR>4) The “postgraduate year”naming system is the most precise way to describe the position of a physician in postgraduate training.
