Now in referring to Freshman, Sophmore, Junior and Senior. These are rather American terms. Basically they refer to the year in which someone is within their schooling. It can apply to both high school also called secondary school and college and/or university. Basically as one progresses though a 4 year program they are referred to their year by each name. Freshman year is the first year, Sophmore year is the second year, Junior year is the third year and Senior year is the fourth and final year. Now in post-secondary education, another name for university or college the length of the program can vary. For example some programs last only 1-2 years while others such as becoming a doctor like we discussed in our last lesson can take many more as much as 14 years. If one would want to become a doctor you would need to gain first a 4 year degree from a university. The 3 years of medical school and anywhere from another 3-7 years for residency training. Residency training involves hands on training working with real patients, often in hospitals, there are many teaching hospitals throughout the world.
