intern(e)
1. 'a medical student getting practical training in a hospital'
Is this true both in the UK and US? Are 'a houseman' and 'a resident doctor'
used too?
2. 'a student (not particularly medical) getting a practical experience
in a job'
Is this true both in the UK and US?
Thank you.

In the U.S., intern does not have an e on the end. An intern is a doctor who has just graduated. After an internship comes the residency. I'm not familiar with the term "houseman" here.
You can also have interns in other fields, as you describe in #2. (And intern doctor is no longer a medical student. He or she has graduated from medical school.)
