"Call" (night duty in the hospital) was sometimes as frequent as every second or third night for up to three years. Pay was minimal beyond room, board, and laundry services. It was assumed that most young men and women training as physicians had few obligations outside of medical training at that stage of their careers. The first year of practical patient-care-oriented training after medical school has long been termed "internship". Even as late as

Residencies were separate from internship, often served at different hospitals, and only a minority of physicians did residencies. In the United States, the Libby Zion case, which led to the Libby Zion Law , garnered attention in 1984, shed light on the demanding work hours imposed on medical residents. Responding to this concern,

But even mid-century, residency was not seen as necessary for general practice and only a minority of primary care physicians participated.
