Congress determines how many PAS and NC-SES appointments the president can make. But the president decides how many PA and Schedule C positions will be in his or her administration. Positions in the PAS category include high-ranking cabinet roles and judiciary appointments. PA positions include the president's executive staff. NC-SES jobs are senior management positions -- typically with titles like deputy undersecretary or bureau director.
How Long Does Medical Residency Training Last? Medical residency is a minimum of three years for primary care physicians and some other specialties, up to five years for some surgical specialties. (Some medical specialties require additional years of fellowship training in addition to the three to five years of residency training.)
How many more years you have of residency depends on the specialty you are going for. Internal medicine is a total of three years (the internship year plus two more). General surgery is five (internship plus four). You can ask your doctor what year he is and he may tell you he is a PGY (post-graduate year) 1, 2 or 3.f they are in residency that means that they have passed all of the test and on paper are a doctor under supervision, but must first complete 4 years of residency in order to be a doctor without someone telling them what and how to do things. They also make more money once out of residency and considered a real doctor.
