: I like this, but it sounds rather structured (good for selling yourself in a CV, of course) - but what if the poor sap was just thinly-disguised slave labour?

Assistant, or Temporary Assistant
I think I would go for changing the structure and talk about "(Temporary) Assistant" because it's hard to find an abstract noun in English for this, no?
Particularly because "pasante" is used in such a wide range of contexts that in English we use a number of different words. After all if he's a lawyer he'd be an "(articled) clerk". (I'm talking British English here, I don't know what is used the other side of the pond.)
¡OJO! ¡IMPORTANT! I'd run a mile from "Practising Pharmacist" because this phrase in English does NOT mean "en prácticas" = "in training", but someone who is already fully qualified and "in practice".
Is there any indication that this temporary job was in any way "official"? or just something he managed to find for the summmer holidays? If it is official, through the university or the professional association, then you could go for the idea of "job placement", or perhaps even "internship", though that sounds heavy to me. "Probation" suggests that there is a permanent job at the end of his time is he's a good boy, so is probably not appropriate here.
Either way, I think I'd stick to the solution I have already given.
