Table 1.

Differing titles of doctors according to the levels between the United Kingdom and the United States.

UK	USA
Consultant	Attending
Senior registrar or middle grade	Chief resident
SHO to registrar level 3	Resident
FY1 and FY2	Intern

Note: Currently, in the United Kingdom, all doctors below the consultant level are classed as junior doctors. PAs are not yet formally categorised but, in this study, a junior PA = in their first‐year postqualification versus senior PA = more experienced. Senior registrar is level 4 or 4‐year postregistrar level. (ED consultants in the United Kingdom are the most senior level of doctors in the ED who hold a completion of training certificate [CCT]. A UK consultant is equivalent to an ‘attending doctor’ in the United States. Table 1 outlines the differences in titles of the different levels of doctors in the United Kingdom compared to the United States.)

Abbreviations: FY1, foundation year 1 postqualification; FY2, foundation year 2 postqualification; SHO, senior house officer (≥ 3 years postqualification); UK, United Kingdom; USA, United States of America.
