resident physician
Explanation:
Ein Assistenzarzt ist ein approbierter Arzt ohne leitende Funktion. Assistenzärzte befinden sich meist unter der Bezeichnung Arzt in Weiterbildung (AiW) in der Facharztweiterbildung. In dieser Zeit werden sie von einem Facharzt, meistens einem Oberarzt oder dem Chefarzt, angeleitet.

Resident physician

Medical intern - With terms like sub-intern, intern, senior resident and attending, it must be confusing to many where recently-branded M.D.s. and D.O.s stand in their professional training.
http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2013/11/medical-intern.html

Medical intern is a term used in some countries to describe a physician in training who has completed medical school and has a medical degree, but does not yet have a full license to practice medicine unsupervised.

Trainee doctor


Explanation:
Terms suggested by other colleagues are also acceptable, but I have seen the term DOCTOR IN TRAINING or TRAINEE DOCTOR being used quite frequently.
In UK trainee doctors (in short doctors training to become consultants) are also called Specialty Registrars. Once they complete their 5-6 yrs of rotation as a Registrar they complete their training.
