Senior house officer

A senior house officer (SHO) is a non-consultant hospital doctor in the Republic of Ireland. SHOs are supervised in their work by consultants and registrars. In training posts these registrars and consultants oversee training and are usually their designated clinical supervisors.

The same structure to junior doctor grades also applied previously in the National Health Service in the UK, and informal use of the term persists there.

More specifically, an SHO has worked for at least one year as an intern. Becoming a registrar is dependent on experience within a specialty, with or without the relevant exams (e.g. MRCPI, MRCSI, MCEM), and so a doctor having changed specialty usually needs to work as an SHO for a period of time, even if he or she has previously worked as a registrar.

List of Massachusetts Institute of Technology undergraduate dormitories

This article describes the undergraduate dorms at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with a focus on student culture and dormitory life (including meal options). All undergrad MIT dorms are officially coed and reserved for unmarried students, except McCormick Hall, which remains women-only. Because living conditions are strongly affected by architecture, there is coverage of that topic here. For a more esthetic architectural focus, see the article Campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Dining halls

The MIT administration has emphasized incorporation of shared dining facilities into several larger undergraduate dormitories, as places where daily informal social interactions can occur. After discontinuation of "mandatory commons" in 1970, required meal plans were reinstituted in Fall 2011 for residents of several dormitories, despite the vigorous objections of some students.As of 2015, the MIT meal plans offer a mix of choices, required for residents of some dorms, and optional for all other undergraduates and all grad students.
