R4

Most likely a fourth year resident.
In North America specialists train for four or five years after medical school and are designated R1, R2, R3, R4. An R4 would be a senior resident. The position can be written R4, RIV, Res IV etc. There is no formal correct version.

He or she would be practicing in a teaching hospital.
