Etymology
The word 'residency' originated in the mid-16th century from the Latin word 'residentia', meaning 'act of residing'. Over time, the term evolved to encompass both the legal and medical definitions we use today. Residency programs for medical professionals became popular in the early 20th century as a way to provide specialized training beyond the basic medical education.
