The Vietnamese word "phó bảng" refers to a "junior doctor" or a doctor who is still in training or at the beginning of their medical career. This term is often used in a medical context to describe someone who has completed their medical education but may not yet have the full responsibilities of a senior or fully licensed doctor.
Simple Example: "Phó bảng đang khám bệnh cho bệnh nhân." (The junior doctor is examining the patient.)
Contextual Example: "Tôi đã hỏi phó bảng về tình trạng sức khỏe của tôi." (I asked the junior doctor about my health condition.)
In a more advanced context, "phó bảng" can imply a level of mentoring. For example, senior doctors may guide or supervise "phó bảng" while they are making decisions about patient care. This term may also be used when discussing career progression in the medical field.
While "phó bảng" specifically refers to junior doctors, it does not have widely recognized alternative meanings outside of the medical context.
