Danish term or phrase: Turnusophold
From a document discussing political proposals for GPs in Denmark.

This particular section is on whether or not obligatory public service should be introduced for GPs:

Et yderst kontroversielt udspil sørgede socialdemokraterne for ved at foreslå, at alle nyuddannede læger, udover at have turnusophold i almen praksis også skal have en yderligere tjenestepligt i almen praksis i seks måneder.

Explanation:
In Canada, we refer to this a residency :) and if a doctor is doing their residency, they are referred to as a resident.

BrE > Rotation; rotational stint


Explanation:
The only reason I am answring this one, pace Pernille, is because I believe I - during my apprenticeship - went through a similar law clerk rotation in various departments in the City of London and abroad, and akin to being 'skewered on a spit'.




Example sentence(s):
  • Studiet Medicin er uddannelse du skal tgae for at blive læge. Det tager 6 år at færdiggøre grundforløbet og *yderligere 18 måneders turnusophold*
  • Hospital rotation at ULHT. Our posts offer a wide range of clinical experience in interesting jobs under experienced consultants
