junior resident
The entire abbreviation means "reservelæge i hoveduddannelsesforløb"
The closest I can think of to what we have in the US is a junior resident (or junior registrar in the UK). As per the definition below, it means the first three years of residency. If I remember correctly, there is also one year of introductory residency before the main section of the residency begins (Res.læge.introd)
"Læger i hoveduddannelsesforløb i almen medicin ansættes som reservelæge. Med virkning fra 01-04-2009 er følgende gældende: Læger i hoveduddannelsesforløb i almen medicin ansættes som reservelæge de første 3 år af uddannelsesforløbet, hvorefter den videre ansættelse sker som 1. reservelæge."

: I´m impressed. I knew it was something like that... but what to call it in English is quite another matter.

RIC
RIC = Resident in charge.
First the name of physician, and then the abbreviation RIC, which stands for resident in charge. You can choose to use the abbreviation for resident in charge since the Danish name is abbreviated.
