The approximate US and Canadian equivalent of a British houseman (6)

I believe the answer is:

intern

(Other definitions for intern that I've seen before include "put in jail" , "Hospital worker" , "Incarcerate without trial - a junior hospital doctor?" , "House officer" , "Work-experience trainee" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
