in training

The term i.o. could mean "in opleiding" which is in training. I can not tell in what context this term is used, but see if this works.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks, Saskia, it's close but I'll go with this one. I've actually found the doctor's name in a list of doctors "in opleiding". The broader nature of "in training" will do it for me this time. "

in opdracht=PP

afkorting van: in opdracht
http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:bPidYIGYmLEJ:taaladvies...

English equivalent is PP, signing on someone's behalf.

Note from asker:
Thanks for your input, Francina. This will work for another document. Some clients (maddeningly) ask not to replace an abbreviation with an equivalent abbreviation too. I usually use "by delegation" or "by direction" when I'm confronted with the equivalent of this one in other pairs. I rather like the "PP" though.

i.o. = in opleiding

"Een gynaecoloog in opleiding is een afgestudeerde arts die in opleiding is tot specialist, in dit geval gynaecoloog. Hij/zij houdt samen met en onder supervisie van een gynaecoloog spreekuur. Op de verpleegafdeling is hij of zij verantwoordelijk voor de dagelijkse gang van zaken en wordt zaalarts genoemd." (ref. below)

I'll leave it to the Dutch to English translators to come up with the right translation... ;-)

(gynecology) intern

"Intern" is AmE, "houseman" is used in BrE.

Yes, "in opleiding".
Note from asker:
Tack, Sven. I appreciate your BrE equivalent too. You're right for AmE, some variation too as Tina points out. This one is destined for Canada so I will opt for a more general possibility. It's still North America but something more general on the lines of World English or international English seems prudent here. My apologies for any complication. I will have to take the final destination into account in the future and post it as well. I do get the same sort of document sets for the USA too though, so I will keep your answer handy. I'm sure to have more of these down the line too so stay tuned.

agree Ide Verhelst (X) : I am not a big fan of "E.R.", but that's where i picked up the meaning of "intern" ;-)

Thank you very much!
neutral Neil Cross : The new term in the UK is "Foundation House Officer" - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_House_Officer - although a trainee consultant could also be a "Specialty Registrar" - just to confuse matters :-)

:o)
neutral Tina Vonhof (X) : I wouldn't use this term: intern can mean different things in different countries // Even in AmE it can mean different things at different universities. E.g. at my universiy we don't use that term at all.

I specifically pointed out that "gynecology intern" is AmE! - And the Asker is fom USA!

in opleiding

According to my niece, a medical student in her 8th year in Nijmegen, who intends to become a gynaecologist.

Thanks for your input, Toiny. Your niece's explanation fleshes it out a bit.
