Full time
Full Time
Full time (pronounced: /fʊl taɪm/) is a term often used in various fields, including the medical field, to denote a standard work week. In many countries, this is typically 35 to 40 hours per week.
Etymology
The term "full time" originates from the English words "full" and "time". "Full" comes from the Old English "fullian", meaning "to fill", and "time" comes from the Old English "tima", meaning "limited space of time".
Definition
In the medical field, a full time position often refers to a healthcare professional, such as a doctor, nurse, or medical technician, who is employed for the standard number of working hours in a week. This is in contrast to part time positions, where the professional works less than the standard hours.
