<unk>  <unk> , often known as a<unk> man or<unk>  officer, is a former official term for a grade of junior doctor that was, until 2005, the only job open to medical graduates in the United Kingdom who had just passed their final examinations at medical school and had received their medical degrees. The term<unk>  officer" is still used to refer to foundation doctors (in Foundation Years 1 and 2 known as FY1s and FY2s). Newly qualified doctors are only allowed provisional<unk>  with the General Medical Council, hence their first jobs are prior to full<unk>  with the GMC and these jobs were named<unk>  jobs, usually consisting of two six-month jobs; one<unk> dominantly involved with general surgery (often being called a<unk>  surgeon), and one<unk> dominantly involved with general medicine (often being called a<unk>  physician). After 1948,<unk>  was the lowest grade in the medical hierarchy of qualified doctors in the National Health Service, and was the doctor most often called by nursing staff to see patients on hospital wards, especially at the most unsocial hours of work shifts. After satisfactory work reports in both<unk>  jobs, the<unk>  gained full<unk>  with the General Medical Council, which is a legal requirement to be able to work in all other medical jobs in the United Kingdom (which until 1922 included the whole of Ireland). Although the<unk>  year was taken after graduating from a medical school, the supervision of the<unk>  was the responsibility of the medical school from which the<unk>  had graduated, and a representative of that medical school was responsible for signing the<unk>  forms which go to the General Medical Council to certify that the<unk>  year had been completed satisfactorily. After completing the<unk>  year, the junior doctors usually became Senior<unk>  officers to further their career in the medical profession. Following changes in postgraduate medical education, from 2005, what was the<unk>  year now forms the first year of Foundation Training (Foundation Year 1), and trainees during this year now have the job title of Foundation<unk>  Officer 1 instead of<unk> . Despite this, they are still often referred to as<unk>  Officers by themselves and other hospital staff. In other parts of the world, this stage is generally referred to as medical internship.
