English term or phrase: Intern vs. House Officer

In dem Lebenslauf eines irischen Arztes steht unter dem "Beruflichen Werdegang" eine Aufzählung von Praktikumstellen seit Abschluss des Medizinstudiums. Dabei wird manchmal der Begriff "intern", ein anderes Mal "senior house officer" und schließlich auch "medicine house officer" verwendet. Ich hätte sonst alle Begriffe mit Assistenzarzt übersetzt, frage mich aber in diesem Fall, ob es da vilelleicht doch einen Unterschied gibt. Ist "intern" vielleicht als "Arztpraktikant" und "house officer" als "Assistenzarzt" zu übersetzen. Und was mache ich dann mit dem "senior house officer". Hat jemand vielleicht mehr erfahrung beim Übersetzen solcher Lebensläufe?

German translation:[same] Arztpraktikant

Explanation:
Both terms are the same; they are pre-registration grades. Since 2005 this has been called Foundation House Officer 1 (FHO1) in Northern Ireland. SHO however is a registration grade and similar to Assistenzarzt.

Very similar training structure to the UK (i.e. as it was in the UK prior to 2005):

"The Medical Council requires every medical student to complete a one-year internship, known as Pre-Registration House Officer (PRHO) training" http://www.postgrad.ie/Careers/Medical_Healthcare/Medicine.h...

Addendum:
The Republic of Ireland has a very similar training structure to the UK (i.e. as it was in the UK prior to 2005).

Notes to answerer

Asker: Aber wenn es doch auf das Gleiche hinausläuft, warum benutzt diese Person die verschiedenen Bezeichnungen für verschidene Praktiken? Alles im gleichen tabellarischen Lebenslauf. Könnte es nicht sein, dass die sich doch in irgendeinerweise unterscheiden? Und wenn ja, tue ich ihm/ihr damit nicht unrecht, indem ich es alles gleich übersetze?
