From wikipedia:

Residency is a stage of graduate medical training. A resident physician or resident (also called a registrar in the United Kingdom and several Commonwealth countries) is a person who has received a medical degree (MD, DO, MBBS, MBChB) and who practices medicine under the supervision of fully licensed physicians, usually in a hospital or clinic. A residency may follow the internship year or include the internship year as the first year of residency. The residency can also be followed by a fellowship, during which the physician is trained in a sub-specialty. Successful completion of residency training is a requirement to practice medicine in many jurisdictions.

In other words, resident is the equivalent of Registrar/Medical Officer (MO). It may be included in years of housemanship (internship).

Warmest regards,
