A resident is someone who has graduated from medical school and is completing a post-graduate training program. An attending physician is a board-certified physician[1] who has completed their residency training. Residents are supervised by attending physicians.

When you receive care from a resident, you are also receiving care from their attending physician. This means you’ll benefit from the experience and knowledge of both providers.
