The anecdote was related in a
1990 BYU devotional.
The 2003 biography has this to say:
Thanks Tom.
According to his wikipedia page:
1945 Nelson graduated from the University Of Utah with a BA
1947 Nelson graduated from the University Of Utah School Of Medicine with a Doctor Of Medicine degree
After medical school, Nelson went to the University of Minnesota for his medical residency - are internship and residency the same thing?
I believe that internship is the year prior to residency though some sources say that interns are sometimes referred to as first-year residents.
“At this point [graduation from medical school], the new doctor enters the first year of post-medical school training known as intern year. Interns (sometimes referred to as first-year residents) are doctors, but they may only practice medicine with guidance and supervision. They traditionally wear short white coats to signify their status as interns.
At completion of the internship year, interns enter residency. At this point, they’ve earned their M.D. degrees and may practice independently as general practitioners. However, the majority of doctors at this level pursue further training as residents. Depending on the chosen specialty, a residency may last from 2 to 7 years.”

The Wikipedia entry on Internship (Medicine) states with regard to the United States: “A medical internship typically lasts one year and usually begins on July 1. Internships are of two types: transitional and specialty track. After a physician completes an internship and Step 3 of the USMLE or Level 3 of the COMLEX-USA, they may practice as a general practitioner. However, most physicians complete a specialty track medical residency over two to seven years, depending on the specialty. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) officially dropped the term ‘intern’ in 1975, instead referring to individuals in their first year of graduate medical education as ‘residents’ (Residency Year 1, or R1).”
